Go ahead and hate Listen, , to a story That was written long ago About a Kingdom on a mountain And a valley folk down below On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They'd have it for their very own Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven You can justify it in the end But there won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure Tons of gold for which they'd kill Came an answer from the Kingdom With our brothers, we will share All the riches of our mountain All the secrets buried there Now the valley swore with anger Mount your horses, draw your swords And they killed the mountain people So they won their just rewards Now they stood beside the treasure On the mountain dark and red Turned the stone and looked beneath it Peace on Earth, was all it said Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away |

I am sorry you have such a sad existence that you seem to have nothing better to do than troll my facebook and blog posts with the same banal comment candle. I will not block your comments as I would like them to stand as a testament to your boorish and petulant behaviour. If it gives you pleasure go ahead,I may even be mildly amused to think how much you seem to think about my posts, or not as the case may be.

As observed by Joan Baez (among others) in this song from the 60's but no less true today.
