Lady Capulet: We're born to hate Soon as we leave Our mother's wombs Hate's in the air And to survive We breathe its fumes We love to hate Hatred's the third word that we learn Mama, Papa And after that it's hatred's turn We're born to hate It's like a serpent in the soul We're so consumed It seems the serpent's in control We love to hate
Lady Montague: We are the same I too can see Things I despise Year after year Poisonous hate Burns from your eyes There's so much hate Day after day the children grieve Just look at them And see the legacy we leave In every street A broken heart, a blood-stained sword We fight to win But it's a fight without reward
Lady Capulet: You've paid the price Look at your face Hate's in each pore of your wretched skin Another day, another death You'll pass it on to your next of kin
Lady Montague: It makes us old before our time Hate is a whore, a plague, a curse I doubt if we will live to see Hate disappear from the universe
Both: It makes us old before our time Hate is a whore, a plague, a curse
Lady Capulet: I doubt if we will live to see
Both: Hate disappear from the universe
Chorus: We're born to hate It's like a serpent in the soul We're so consumed It seems the serpent's in control
