At the first sign of hardship, many bite the hand that feeds
And when there's trouble, oh, they simply cut and run
And when there's fear, a man will slit the throat of his neighbor
In a desperate search for comfort and love

Don't tear us apart (x4)
Will you show us, some hidin' in this trouble, here where it starts
You won't tear us apart?

When your spirits are down and you've lost your way
And man's character once again falls on it's face
Will somebody please come
Aid those helpless in need
And renew our faith in this human race

Don't tear us apart (x4)
Will you show us, some hidin' in this trouble, here where it starts
You won't tear us apart?

Don't tear us apart
You gotta show some heart
Don't tear us apart
You gotta show some heart

At the first sign of hardship, many bite the hand that feeds
And when there's trouble, oh, they simply cut and run
And when there's fear, a man will slit the throat of his neighbor
In a desperate search for comfort and love

Don't tear us apart (x4)
Will you show us, some hidin' in this trouble, here where it starts
You won't tear us apart?
