Lord give me patience and give it to me now Cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind And I can't see a thing When will we just learn to get along? I've been doing some thinking and honesty may not be what we need You don't have to speak your mind We can make it if we try, cause no one has to win this time We've taken advantage of all of our weakness We know just what to say And we're quick to remember and slow to forgive It's killing us, it's killing us
