Last night I shook hands with the devil
|
In a dream that I can never lose
|
He laughed when he saw me cryin'
|
At the pictures on the evening news
|
He said it's not really a dilemma
|
You're just a little out of touch
|
Don't think of the situation
|
Cos it'll make you think too much
|
|
Someone always hates someone
|
Someone always hates someone
|
Someone always sells a gun
|
Cos someone always hates someone
|
|
A child will be born tomorrow
|
As open as an empty cup
|
And we'll fill it with hope and sorrow
|
The very things that messed us up
|
We'll ask him to join the congregation
|
A Hindu Moslem Christian or Jew
|
Pretty soon he'll recognise his brothers
|
But soon he'll know the enemy too
|
|
Someone always hates someone
|
Someone always hates someone
|
Someone always buys a gun
|
Cos someone always hates someone
|
|
I died and I went to heaven
|
In a dream I never had before
|
A good friend who had gone before me
|
Had kindly left my name at the door
|
I looked on the face of the almighty
|
Couldn't help myself
|
I started to shout
|
How come you made a mess of things
|
How come you didn't work it out
|
|
He said
|
Someone always hates someone
|
Someone always hates someone
|
There's so much love for everyone
|
But someone always hates someone
|
