Hand over fist

Not long ago I was full of anger and
You really pissed me off and I lashed out
But now I know violence is not the answer
It never was and it never will be
Now I know what it is all about
When the chips are down and there's
Still some time for us to reach a common ground
Cause I'm sick of all the dying
I'm sick of all the crying
There's gotta be a better way
Just look around at our society
It's survival of the fittest on the street
Can't you see violence is not the answer,
It never was, and it never will be
Can't you see what it's all about
When the chips are down
There's still some time for us
To reach a common ground
We gotta stop the violence
Cause if we don't care
And you don't care
And they don't care
Who's gonna care?
Now I know
