"Will you stand and watch while all the seeds of hate are sown?"

Which way are you goin'?
Which side will you be on?
Will you stand and watch while
All the seeds of hate are sown?
Will you stand with those who say,
"Let His will be done"?

One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun

Which way are you looking?
Is it hard to see?
Do you say what's wrong for him
Is not wrong for me?
You walk the streets, righteousness
But you refuse to understand

You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man

Everyday, things are changing,
Words once honored turned to lies
People wondering, can you blame them
It's too far to run, and too late to hide

Now you turn your back on
All the things that you used to preach
Now it's "Let him live in freedom,
If he lives like me"

Well your line has changed, confusion reigns,
What have you become?
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns

Jim Croce, 1973

He knew.
