Stevie Wonder - Each Other's Throat lyrics

rate me

We are supposed to be sisters and brothers

But all we do is constantly dog one another

We are supposed to act as each other's cover

But we keep at each other's throat

Each other's throat

Each other's throat

Yo, it ain't no joke

We're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl

We are supposed to spread love and not evil

But we've been acting more like heathens than people

Treating our fellow-man far worse than illegal

Cause we keep at each other's throat

Each other's throat

Each other's throat

Yo, it ain't no joke

We're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl

Ut oh, 11 o'clock pm and here's the news

Another fatality caused by a family feud

Charged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother's gun

Made sister's fiancee's wedding never to be sung

He didn't like the way he treated the girl

So the boy played God, pow, he ended his world

He made a plea for temporary insanity

But left his sister insane permanently

This ain't new, this stuff happens everyday

Somebody doesn't like someone so they blow them away

Too fast for reason, too quick to negotiate

Regret and sorrow happens a split second too late

Jealousy for power, greed for possession

Selfishness so you give someone a faked out impression

Speaking of which I'm truly not impressed

So if seeing is believin'-I don't wanna see the mess

Heartless are we on the straight with no chaser

As if for negativity we got the vapors

Know as I love me so I do love my neighbor

Cause we are too busy at each other's throat

Each other's throat

Each other's throat

Yo, it ain't no joke

We're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl

(Repeat)
