Don’t think I want to spoil the party or make you feel embarrassed

don’t think I want prevent you from eating out of hands from dead bodies

don’t think I want to spit on you for your self-satisfaction

but please have in mind when the war comes that it was you who created violence

don’t think that I hesitate when I say that I love you

don’t think I want to put you in the light and let the shadow expose you

don’t think that I don’t want to protect you from false calumniation

but please have in mind when love comes that it was you who created violence

and you built me a world and you built me a home

and you built your confidence in my womb

but my rain and my heat is the only thing you can’t defeat

don’t think that I don’t want to give life to your child

don’t think that I don’t want him to find what you found

don’t think that I don’t want to raise him to daddy’s tuff guy

but please have in mind when he hates us that it was you who created violence
