Gbh - To Understand lyrics

I've been guilty too, I ain't so pure You get a little bit, you just want more Go on destroying what little we got Two steps forward three steps back In this crazy world you get no chances No-one bothers with the new dances Gotta get on with the pain of living Don't look for handouts there's none been given It's easier to hate than to understand It's easier to hate than to understand A clenched fist or an open hand It's easier to hate than to understand Confusion reigns in vicious circles Too much violence too many hurdles Peace of mind isn't much to ask for Hangs in the air like burnin' sulphur There's carrots dangling everwhere The price you pay for a livin' nightmare The stench of d**h in every nation Decay, disillusion and desperation .. sanity's just a state of mind
