Too Much Blood

(to the tune of “Me and a Gun” by Tori Amos)

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

i don’t care any more who’s what side of what fight
who is jew who is arab who is black who is white

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

i don’t care any more who is provo who is prot
who is serb who is croat who is with me who is not

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

we can’t sleep any more with our trust in a gun
it is time to wake up and to see what we’ve done

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

it has been too damn easy just to kill what we fear
or to let others suffer just because they’re not here

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

it has been first resort it seems all of my life
send a bomb or a bullet grab a rock or a knife

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate

on this day I have vowed to myself that I will
find another way to live and let live not to kill

we have shed too much blood and it may be too late
but we can’t just not try to stop all of this hate
