As a child, I play in the sandbox
As a child, we could be friends
Now that we have grown older
That's come to a better end
Truck and horses replaced by guns
Ethnic hatred replaces the fun
We go on fighting and murdering brothers
But the greatest gift is love
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
Again so, we relive the story
Same old story, man after man
And we think we're so wise
Then why can't we get back to the sand?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
And we search for more, never finding much
Believe like a child believes in love
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Or a cup of tea for two
