Last night I shook hands with the devil

In a dream that I can never lose

He laughed when he saw me cryin'

At the pictures on the evening news

He said it's not really a dilemma

You're just a little out of touch

Don't think of the situation

Cos it'll make you think too much



Someone always hates someone

Someone always hates someone

Someone always sells a gun

Cos someone always hates someone



A child will be born tomorrow

As open as an empty cup

And we'll fill it with hope and sorrow

The very things that messed us up

We'll ask him to join the congregation

A hindu moslem christian or jew

Pretty soon he'll recognise his brothers

But soon he'll know the enemy too



Someone always hates someone

Someone always hates someone

Someone always buys a gun

Cos someone always hates someone



I died and I went to heaven

In a dream I never had before

A good friend who had gone before me

Had kindly left my name at the door

I looked on the face of the almighty

Couldn't help myself

I started to shout

How come you made a mess of things

How come you didn't work it out



He said

Someone always hates someone

Someone always hates someone

There's so much love for everyone

But someone always hates someone
