about

I wrote this song when I lived in Paris, thinking of the world as it existed then. After Damien Somville and I met for the first time, at Ron Sexsmith's concert in Paris, Damien suggested that we record some of my songs in his studio. "Too Much Hate" is one of the songs we recorded together. This song still rings true in our present world.

lyrics

Too Much Hate
Words and Music by Robert Martin Teetsov

There's too much carnage in this world,
too many skewed beliefs,
too many professors of hate,
who twist God's Word to their taste
for blood.

There's too much hate in this world,
too many people who kill their fellow man
in the name of God,
or the name of a man.

Meanwhile, we go on as if hate don't exist,
as if war were so far away.
We wait 'til it's knockin' at our door,
but then it's too late.

So do something now.
It's not the soldiers who are going to save you.
It's only a helping hand that saves,
that'll save you and me.

There's too much loneliness in this world,
too many wasted hearts,
too many confessors of lost hope,
who wander the crowded streets in the dark,
looking for a little love
and a hand to hold,
waiting for the light of a dawning day
yet to come.

Meanwhile, we go on as if love don't exist,
as if peace were so far away.
Well it's knockin' at our door.
We better open before it's too late.

So do something now.
It's not the soldiers who are going to save you.
It's only a helping hand that saves,
that'll save you and me.
