I've been guilty too, I ain't so pure,
you get a little bit, you just want more
Go on destroying what little we got,
two steps forward three steps back
In this crazy world you get no chances,
no-one bothers with the new dances
Gotta get on with the pain of living,
don't look for handouts there's none been given

It's easier to hate than to understand,
it's easier to hate than to understand
A clenched fist or an open hand,
it's easier to hate than to understand

Confusion reigns in vicious circles,
too much violence too many hurdles
Peace of mind isn't much to ask for,
hangs in the air like burnin' sulphur
There's carrots dangling everwhere,
the price you pay for a livin' nightmare
The stench of death in every nation,
decay, disillusion and desperation

sanity's just a state of mind
