Story Behind The Song

Pondering murder the day after John Lennon was shot.

Lyrics

Verse: What am i thinking about thou shalt not kill? Let me see into it learn how it feels. My mind comes quickly to that golden rule; do one to another as they would to you. But two wrongs don'r cancel out the harm caused by one. we learn the hard way when the damage is done. But the killer he feels no pain his conscience has died. His anger controls him, get even is right.

Chorus 1: So mistrusting, so mistrusting, get even is right. Keep it all inside, keep the hurt inside can't talk out this plight. Nobody nowhere, no one soul can share the hurt that he feels. It keeps on building, it keeps on blinding, get even and heal. Get even and heal.

Verse: There is an answer to the problems we bear. Don't keep it all inside put words in the air. Cause chances are good that we've all felt it too. Before you go hurting at least talk it through. Now maybe talk won't calm that violent need, to teach one a lesson so everyone sees. But when someone hurts you and you think to strike back, let that golden seed blossom, you know it's a fact.

Chorus 2: How would I want, how would I want to be treated by you? How would you want, how would you want for me to treat you? This rule is golden this rule is timeless so old that it's new. If we all treat each other, we all treat each other, how we'd want to be treated too.

Rpt. Chorus 2
