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

Ooooh...

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
