To live and let love die
That's the song America sings
When people are ruthlessly killed
And no one knows why
Listening to a mother's mournful cry
When her baby boy dies
Her husband beaten for trying to make a living
And her daughter no longer believes she's pretty
Because she's been raped and abused
To live and let love die
That's the song America sings now
When a dream turns into a nightmare
And everyone's scared to speak out
Too afraid of being punished
Politicians won't bear to listen
To live and let love die
That's the song America sings
