Hate Song
By Mary Rodgers and Steven Vinaver
(From
The Mad Show)
Verse:
There are certain facts of life that can upset you
Of course I never let them cross my path
We made our mothers take us out of
Psycho
When Janet Leigh was bleeding in the bath
Although I never watched
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
I know I wouldn’t like it if I did
I saw a scene or two from
Mary Poppins
I think it’s too sadistic for a kid.
Hate, bloodshed, everywhere you turn
When will our parents learn
That isn’t what we yearn for?
Love, kindness, peace in every land
It’s these for which we stand
So hand and hand and hand…
Chorus:
We’re gonna stamp out hate
That’s our creed
Wipe out violence, intolerance and greed
We’re gonna start right now
Tomorrow is too late
We’re gonna stamp out hate.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Stamp it in the ground
And then take happiness and spread it all around
We’ll put an end to grief
We can hardly wait
We’re gonna stamp out hate.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Sock it in the eye
Shoot it in the stomach yelling, die, die, die!
We’ll pull its insides out
And look at look at what it ate
We’re gonna stamp out hate.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Lash it with a switch
Amputate its arms and legs and see how long they twitch
We’ll put its toes on hooks
And dangle them for bait
We’re gonna stamp out hate.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Show it who’s the boss
Take it up a lonely hill and nail it to a cross
Won’t it be kicks to watch
The blood coagulate?
We’re gonna stamp out hate.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Poke it with a pick
Chill it ‘till it’s solid then we’ll sell it on a stick.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Kill without a trace
Stick a finger up its nose and pull it off its face.
We’re gonna stamp out hate
Lynch it with a rope.
Find a Nazi doctor who can boil it down for soap.
We’ll pull its teeth right out
And sell the silver plate…
(
whistled) We’re gonna stamp out hate.
