the things we do to each other

Cowboy Junkies

Fear is not so far from hate
So if you get the folks to fear
It only takes one small twist
To kick it up a gear

And you can control hate
But only for so long
And when you lose control, oh man

The things we do to each other
Oh, my sister

And you can control hate
But only for so long
And when you lose control, oh man

The things we do to each other
Oh, my brother
Oh, the things we do to each other
The things we do to each other
(Fear is not so far from hate)
(Get the folks to fear)
(My brother)
(My sister)
The things we do to each other
(Takes one small twist to kick it up a gear)
The things we do to each other
(Oh man)

Fear is not so far from hate
So if you get the folks to fear
It only takes one quick turn
To notch it up a gear
