Melting Pot

You cannot love without a little bit of hate

Cannot sing without a moment of silence

There is no crying without laughter

No real peace without violence.

Some things you have to sacrifice for,

Mixing it all into one giant pot

Take a gamble, stoke the flames

It's the only chance humanity has got.

Stir together these emotions,

There is only one thing that they make

Bury your teeth in my skin,

Hurry, for the world's sake.

Do not be afraid of what they say

Mix together this black and this white

I'll be your brick wall

And help you put up a fight.

This feeling is all that matters,

whether the bastards like it or not

People mix and places change

As soon as they go into our melting pot.
