  • Don't you ever say never
    It don't mean a thing
    Going to get us together
    Like beads on one string
    There's always someone to blame
    You don't have to look far
    Now the world is a fleeting dot in the stars
    I don't care how you name Him
    He is always the same
    I just know that we shame Him
    When we kill in His name

    This can't go on forever
    This war in a ring
    Gotta bring us together
    Like beads on one string

    Don't you ever say never (Don't you ever say never)
    'Cause it don't mean a thing (It don't mean a thing)
    Gonna get us together (Gonna get us together)
    Like beads on one string (Like beads on one string)
    Every one of us perfect (Like beads on one string)
    But we all have a flaw (Like beads on one string)
    Then we look for the defects and we go off to war (Like beads on one string)
    And we send all our children (Like beads on one string)
    Again and again (Like beads on one string)
    It's our fear that we're building (Like beads on one string)
    And we're really the same

    This can't go on forever
    This war in a ring
    Gotta bring us together
    Like beads on one string

    Don't you ever say never (Don't you ever say never)
    'Cause it don't mean a thing (It don't mean a thing)
    Gonna get us together (Gonna get us together)
    Like beads on one string (Like beads on one string)
    Don't you ever say never (Like beads on one string)
    'Cause it don't mean a thing (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
    Don't you ever say never

    (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
    Don't you ever say never
    (Like beads on one string) To never
    (Like beads on one string) Got to know me a ring
    (Like beads on one string) Gotta get us together
    Like beads on one string

    (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
    Like beads on a string
    (Like beads on one string)
    (Like beads on one string)
