If it wasn't for hate we'd be dead by now

If it wasn't for truth we'd have taken a bow

If it wasn't for love we'd have faded away

If it wasn't for hate, baby, I'd have lost out today



If it wasn't for death, no, I'd never feel this alive

If it wasn't for lies I probably wouldn't survive

If it wasn't for damn hypocrisy I wouldn't have to sing this song

If it wasn't for patience, baby, I couldn't have waitied out this long
