when a wolf attacks your herd
a rifle’s cheaper than alert
when a bear sleeps somewhere
extirpate its cozy lair
every bird that catches fish
steals the food out of your dish
spider, beetle, worm and fly
any animal, destroy!
when a shadow’s on your head
kill the clouds be that mad
when your sweat’s pouring down
kill the sun be a clown
when a drop makes you wet
kill the rain be upset
when you stumble and you fall
kill the ground, kill it all!
when a stranger’s in your town
don’t be slow to stab ’im down
when somebody’s not like you
shoot ’im down through and through
if your neighbour is a spy
hang ’im up hang ’im high
and a nation you don’t like
nuclear strike!
not one problem disappears
by the use of guns and spears
the solutions you will find
are located in your mind
all aggression, rage and hate
stop ’em now, it’s not too late
’cause compassion is a power and a peaceful seed
we are human beings, yes indeed!
