Young, Neil - Throw Your Hatred Down Lyrics






Here in the conscious world
We place our theories down
Why man must bring us
to our knees
Before he sees the weakness
of his sinful plan
The power in his hand
Will never touch a friend

Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down

[solo]

Meanwhile in the underworld
The weaknesses are seen
By peasants and presidents
Who plan the counter-scheme
Children in the schoolyard
Finish choosing teams
Divided by their dreams
While a TV screams

Throw your weapons down
Throw your weapons down

[solo]

The wheel of fortune
Keeps on rollin' down
The street that's paved
with sinful plans
There but for circumstance
May go you or I
Dressed in gold lame
Find a place to stay

Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your weapons down

[solo]

Young, Neil Throw Your Hatred Down Comments
  1. J.... V....

    Wow what a song, I consider myself a huge Neil Young fan and yet I've never heard this song .what's wrong with me lol?! Just heard I'm an ocean 2 minutes ago for the first time. I'm that guy that would buy the double cassette of Harvest& The Goldrush and would wear it out. I've seen him 3times in the last 6 yrs. Incredible can'twait to see him again. Hope it's still a free world he's rockin in.

  2. J.... R....

    can't quite believe that this album is 25 years new, and incredibly in it's entirety, is still on fire?!?.....and that this match made in heaven
    between neil and pearl jam is the only disc they've managed.?????. so really folks, isn't it about time ?

  3. W.... H....

  9. J.... A....

  12. D.... H....

    More relevant than ever.

  14. J.... M....

    PJ played this in Seattle last night - love it!

    J.... M....

    So glad they did! A pretty rare song or some reason.

  15. g.... ....

    15 Justin Bieber fans around here…

  16. Y.... ....

    No limits wathsoever and beyond!!!!!!!

  17. m.... f....

    Probably the best record Pearl Jam has made. No Eddy Veder on vocals. Nice.

  18. E.... L....

    I miss My Heroin Addicted Brother. I listen to this to quell my Hate for the CIA.

  19. l.... ....

    The best rock

  20. l.... ....

    Neil the king

  21. j.... s....

    Holy shit this song is so unbelievably relevant today, over 20 years later

    j.... s....

    will be as long as humans spend their times on earth

  22. A.... T....

    I got good grades one semester and my dad bought me this record, on vinyl, from Ernie November's in Rapid City, SD. Still have it, still listen to it at least once every other month or so. Such a good record.

  23. D.... H....

    One of his best albums; so raw and honest.

  24. A.... D....

    Incredible.

  25. G.... L....

    Mirrorball is just a great rock and roll record! With Pearl Jam as backing band it has such a full guitar sound

  26. M.... ....

    Pearl Jam is like a rocket for Neil  - Mirror ball explodes in a cloud of stars --  sensational...

    M.... ....

    glad it was 1st neil young album I had

    M.... ....

    As Neil is like a Godfather for Pearl Jam.

    M.... ....

    Bork Air keep going there’s a ton of excellent music

    M.... ....

    Heavily underrated album that's flawlessly standing the test of time. When Neil leaves this world there will be a huge void that no other can possibly fill

  27. r.... ....

    mr neil young. speaking for sanity first. that's why he's our canadian icon

  28. A.... P....

    Beautiful! Amazingly good. Full on Neil guitar work, but remember that the jammer's were playing too. Oh, but not Ed. Still....

    A.... P....

    eddie does some vocal work on peace and love. neil does this better then ed ever could. i dont think eddie would disagree

  29. A.... T....

    Underrated.  Why didn't this become a hit back in '95?

    A.... T....

    +Ulgron, hipster slayer Back then people and especially youth, whom the music industry catered to, where only interested in grunge and electronic shit, techno and hip hop.

    A.... T....

    Ironically Neil is playing with a "grunge" band here, as he recorded this whole album with Pearl Jam.

    A.... T....

    Ticketmasters

    A.... T....

    In all seriousness, this shit was awesome, but Eddie only did background vox in 2 tracks and popular rock stations were lukin to drop grunge. So many sick McCready&Young comps tempered with Jack Irons drums. PJ was never this tight again after Yield.

    A.... T....

    Boz Ajanovic you DO understand that Neil is considered to be the godfather of grunge right? For you to call “grunge” shit is you hating on the very music you call great.

  30. h.... ....

    "Throw your weapons down."

    h.... ....

    You throw yours down first.

  31. V.... M....

    Excellent Neil Young, quel solo de guitare !

  32. S.... P....

    One of Neil Young's most important songs.  Almost 20 years on, and the message resonates loud and clear.

    S.... P....

    Sure doe's mate, just an amazing lyrics and music with Pearl Jam. But in an insane world the message get's lost. 

    S.... P....

    all along the....

  33. M.... D....

    Remember seeing neil and pearl jam [ reading uk ].......in 96, awesome set list and finished with this and im the ocean ,......Always a genius .

    M.... D....

    ZERO XX77 my fuck.. i bet that was epic...

    M.... D....

    Garrett Kittel Truly epic set Etc, one of those rare moments when u walk away stunned!!! Neil started the gig with just a piano and black candles saw a lot of Gr8 bands there in the 90s now u can't even get tickets , All sold out months B4 it starts ........

    M.... D....

    Yes, me too!

  34. P.... F....

    I dont know my favorite on this album but they all were good!

  35. B.... A....

    TOO POWERFUL! THIS IS TOO MUCH!:O BLOWS YOUR MIND!

  36. P.... ....

    I bought this album when I was 15 y.o
    Fantastic album.
    If I had it on vinyl, now it would be consumed by the number of plays

  37. S.... P....

    Neil at his rockin' best! Guitar is mean as hell! One of the best he ever did.

  38. R.... A....

    Wonderful song !

  39. M.... L....

    es como decir "yeah" en español :D saludos !

  40. J.... B....

    neil and pearl jam go together. the sound and vocals were meant for each other.

  41. l.... ....

    One of my favorite songs on Mirrorball (1995) which one of the Loner's most underrated albums.
