Every day I hear more stories, that somebody wants me dead
Not just one but now a whole religion, they all want my head
It's our freedom that they hate, at least that what my TV says
I don't want a war but now it seems like it's our only choice
Hate Sells and fear is buying
And now we're splitting into groups
We need to free our minds and see we're not so different
Put those weapons down
Or soon we all are doomed
Daytime TV shows, Talk radio, they're poisoning my brain
Turn the Youtube off and step outside before you go insane
There's too much noise in here to tell the fact from fiction
We'll tear ourselves apart from all this distrust and suspicion
Hate Sells and fear is buying
And now we've split up into groups
We need to look ahead and put aside our differences
We're running out of time and
No one wants to die!
Now this next part goes out to all the cops, who say they feared for their lives!
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
We're not threatening you
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
How is this threatening to you
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
We're not threatening you
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
How is this threatening to you
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
We're not threatening you
Our hands are up
Don't shoot
How is this threatening to you
It's time for all good hearts to stand up
For what you believe in
For hope, for love, for equity
There's no room for hate in here
Show some courage, put your guns down
And extend a helping hand
Don't you feel any compassion
For your fellow man?
Hate sells but we're not buying
And we won't fear what we don't know
I know together we can solve just about anything
Putting fear aside, cuz only then can we truly grow!
