Two Wolves

Well there are two wolves deep inside us
And they control the way we feel
They feed on our emotions and they swallow every deal
The black wolf feeds on anger which he loves to generate
Cos he's greedy and he's arrogant
And he thrives on what we hate

Well there are two wolves deep inside me
And they control the way I feel
They feed on my emotions and they swallow every deal
The white wolf is compassion And he's truthful and he's kind
He doesn't try to dominate though he's often been maligned

But which wolf's gonna waste away?
And which wolf's gonna breed?
Which one will the loser be?
And which will take the lead?
Well it's the wolf that you feed
It's the wolf that you feed

Well that black wolf deep inside me
He is not ashamed to boast
He shouts his lies. Tries to hypnotise
He's the one who howls the most
But the white wolf whispers softly
With a voice that I can trust
Cos he doesn't try to dignify
Anything that seems unjust

So which wolf's gonna waste away?
And which wolf's gonna breed?
Which one will the loser be?
And which will take the lead?
Well it's the wolf that you feed
It's the wolf that you feed

And I know which wolf is gonna win
Cos I've finally seen the light
Gonna starve that black wolf deep inside
And feed the one that's white

The black wolf's gonna waste away
And the white wolf's gonna breed
The black wolf will the loser be
And the white wolf's gonna lead
Well it's the wolf that you feed
It's the wolf that you feed
That's the one that succeeds
Well it's the wolf that you feed
