about

Originally penned as "Make Love Not War," this song was written as a response to much of the war and strife throughout human history, but particularly, the wars and conflict in the Middle East over the past decades and today. So much hatred is fueled my misunderstanding, fear and ignorance. Politics, corporate profits and propaganda have so much to do with the misery and malice occurring in many countries today. In this song, we have referenced in honour two of the world's greatest biblical prophets and leaders of love and peace, Jesus and Muhammad, and also the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, one of humankind's greatest peace advocates and protesters. This song is about living together, not judging, not condemning, not killing.

lyrics

KILLING ME KILLING YOU
Make love not war
Have breakfast in bed
What’s it all for
You’re no good to any one dead
Live and let live
Lend a helping hand
You don’t have to forget
But you have to forgive or

You’re killing me, killing you
Killing me, killing you

One step forward
Two jumps back
Don’t matter what you roll
You’re game’s so off track
What is truth?
Who are enemies?
Love thy neighbour
Meant a lot you see, now are you

Jesus said “This”
And Muhammad said “That”
(Peace be upon him)
I am. I am. That’s where they’re at
Both Men cried when Mahatma Gandhi died
Why oh why why am I why are you
Killing me, I’m killing you
Killing me, killing you
Killing me, killing you
