RESERVOIR OF HATE
[Chorus]
It was a pattern the sisterhood
Had long recognized
The inevitable failure of slavery
And peonage
You created a reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created a reservoir of hate
Implacable enemies
If you had no hope
Of exterminating all of these enemies
You dared not try
Temper your efforts
By the sure awareness
That oppression will make
Your enemies strong
The oppressed will have their day
And heaven help the oppressor
When that day comes
[Chorus]
It was a pattern the sisterhood
Had long recognized
The inevitable failure of slavery
And peonage
You created a reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created a reservoir of hate
It was a two edged blade
The oppressed
Always learned from
And copied the oppressor
When the tables were turned
The stage was set
For another round of revenge
And violence
Roles reversed
And reversed
And reversed
Ad nauseum
[Chorus]
It was a pattern the sisterhood
Had long recognized
The inevitable failure of slavery
And peonage
You created a reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
A reservoir of hate
You created a reservoir of hate
We tend to become
Like the worst
In those we oppose
In those we oppose
In those we oppose
We tend to become
Like the worst
In those we oppose
In those we oppose
In those we oppose
The ferocity we show our foes
Must be tempered
By the lesson
We hope to teach
Revenge is for children
And the emotionally retarded
