As a child, I play in the sandbox As a child, we could be friends Now that we have grown older That's come to a better end Truck and horses replaced by guns Ethnic hatred replaces the fun We go on fighting and murdering brothers But the greatest gift is love An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two Again so, we relive the story Same old story, man after man And we think we're so wise Then why can't we get back to the sand? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two And we search for more, never finding much Believe like a child believes in love An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Or a cup of tea for two
