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
