(Don't) Give Hate a Chance Songtext
von Jamiroquai

Why can′t we be (together?)
Can't you love me? Don′t hate me
I don't see (why can't we live together)
(Maybe we could get it on, maybe we could get along)
Should be our destiny
There′s a cold streak living (inside us)
There′s no rainbows, just bullets and bones
And if you want to rise up (we still got all the time)
We can make this hate stop
Now, don't you want to rise up?

We′ve been giving hate a chance
(We've got all this love to give, you know)
And the love will be running out for us (for us)
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We′re hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away


So, why do we see (these colours?)
It's only skin deep, don′t mean a thing
So clear (underneath this we're all brothers)
Can't you see it′s killing us?
(Can′t you see it's killing us?)
Can′t you see it's killing me?
Trigger happy fantasy
So stand up and be (so strong now)

Freedom is not so far away
If you know you want to rise up
(If you want to rise up, so know now)
We can make this hate stop
Now, don′t you want to rise up?

We've been giving hate a chance
(We′ve got all this love to give, you know)
And the love will be running out for us (for us)
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

The wind, carries every dove away
The wind, carries every dove away
(Every dove away)


Now you've been taking our dignity for too long
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
And who′s right and who′s wrong
We're not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can′t we stop the fighting, 'cause

We′ve been giving hate a chance
(We've got all this love to give, you know)
(We all have this love to give)
And the love will be running out for us
(I feel the love is going to run out for us)
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We′re hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away
