We are supposed to be sisters and brothers
|
But all we do is constantly dog one another
|
We are supposed to act as each other's cover
|
But we keep at each other's throat
|
Each other's throat
|
Each other's throat
|
Yo, it ain't no joke
|
We're at each other's throat - Aowl, Aowl
|
|
We are supposed to spread love and not evil
|
But we've been acting more like heathens than people
|
Treating our fellow-man far worse than illegal
|
Cause we keep at each other's throat
|
Each other's throat
|
Each other's throat
|
Yo, it ain't no joke
|
We're at each other's throat - Aowl, Aowl
|
|
Ut oh, 11 o'clock pm and here's the news
|
Another fatality caused by a family feud
|
Charged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother's gun
|
Made sister's fiancee's wedding never to be sung
|
He didn't like the way he treated the girl
|
So the boy played God, pow, he ended his world
|
|
He made a plea for temporary insanity
|
But left his sister insane permanently
|
This ain't new, this stuff happens everyday
|
Somebody doesn't like someone so they blow them away
|
Too fast for reason, too quick to negotiate
|
|
Regret and sorrow happens a split second too late
|
Jealousy for power, greed for possession
|
Selfishness so you give someone a faked out impression
|
Speaking of which I'm truly not impressed
|
So if seeing is believin'- I don't wanna see the mess
|
|
Heartless are we on the straight with no chaser
|
As if for negativity we got the vapors
|
Know as I love me so I do love my neighbor
|
Cause we are too busy at each other's throat
|
|
Each other's throat
|
Each other's throat
|
Yo, it ain't no joke
|
We're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl
|
[Repeat]
