lyrics

Well, me, I got mine and you, you got yours
And never, no never the twain shall meet
We run into trouble every time we collaborate
All that brotherly love
Well it turns into brotherly hate

From house to house and street to street
Over hill and dale, it's a game to the massacre
From here to there and there to here
The whole wide world, it’s a game to the massacre

Why can't ever get along and learn to live in harmony
I guess that's just too much, too much to expect
Sing out about love and peace
Don't want to see all the red raw meat
Want to win at any cost
Don't want to be the one to admit defeat

We say that we care
But then why is the world
In such a stinkin' mess
We say that we care
But then why do we act
Like we could care less

Well I am happy now
I got all I'll ever need
And all I can say is nuts to you
You can all go rot in hell
It really matters not to me
You can burn with the bad old devil
He doesn't seem all that hot to me
