Don't Tear Us Apart

At the first sign of hardship,

Many bite the hand that feeds

And when there's trouble,

Others 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

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart



Will you show some heart

And end 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 its face

Will somebody please

Come aid those helpless in need,

And renew our faith in this human race



Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart



Will you show some heart

And end this trouble here where it starts

You won't tear us apart



Don't tear us apart

You've gotta show some heart

Don't tear us apart

You've gotta show some heart



At the first sign of hardship,

Many bite the hand that feeds

And when there's trouble,

Others 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

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart

Don't tear us apart



Will you show some heart

And end this trouble here where it starts

You won't tear us apart
