Don't Give Hate A Chance Songtext
von Jamiroquai

Why can′t we be (together)?
Can't you love me? (Whoo) don′t hate me
I don't see (why can't we live together?)
Maybe we can get it on, maybe we can get along
Should be our destiny
There′s a cold streak living (inside us)

There′s no rainbows, just bullets and bombs
And if you wanna rise up (we got to stir the love inside us)
We can make this hate stop (it's all the same, all the shame)
Now, don′t you wanna rise up?

We've been giving hate a chance
(We got all this love to give, you know)
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dream′s alive?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away


So, why do we see (these colours)?
It′s only skin-deep (whoo), don't mean a thing
So clear, underneath this, we're all brothers
Can′t you see it′s killing us? Can't you see it′s killing us?
Can't you see it′s killing me? Trigger-happy fantasy
So stand up and be (so strong now)

Freedom is not so far away
If you know you wanna rise up (we've wanted to rise up so long now)
We can make this hate stop (oh-oh, oh)
Now, don′t you wanna rise up?

We've been giving hate a chance
(We got all this love to give, you know)
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dream's alive?
We′re hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

The wind carries every dove away
The wind carries every dove away
Every dove away
Dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove


Now you′ve been taking our dignity for too long
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
And who's right and who is wrong?
We′re not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can't we stop the fighting? ′Cause

We've been giving hate a chance (don′t give hate a chance)
(We got all this love to give, you know)
We got all this love to give (and the love will be running out for us)
I feel the love is gonna run out for us
Can you feel the dream's alive?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

(The wind carries every dove away) don′t give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
That this dream′s alive, we'll still survive (the wind carries every dove away)
Until no more people have to cry

I said, don′t give this hate a chance (the wind carries every dove away)
We got all this love to give, you know (as the wind carries every dove away)
That this dream's alive, we′ll still survive (and the love will be running out for us)
Until no more people have to cry

(You don't have to fight, amen) I said, don′t give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know (just because you know you can)
That this dream's alive, we'll still survive
Until no more people have to cry
