Violent

[Verse 1]

I checked in a room today

Up above the downtown market bricks

Right now a boy gets old

A boy gets bitter, a boy learns not to trust

Someone inside his room

The door locks tight, you keep the door locked

[Verse 2]

Months went by and doors got kicked in

Two outlaws collecting what they loaned

In a room beside my walls

A girl gets choked, she can't pay back the loan

48 more hours to go, "48 more hours", that's all they say

In two more nights, I hear a sound, a shrill from one thin wall away

[Chorus]

Every place is the same

Every day is the same

Every place is the same - violent

There's a conflicting sound

Hear the arguments loud - every day

The sounds of the violent, violent, violent, violent

The sounds of the violent

(Violent)

[Verse 2]

I moved uptown a bit

Not much changed, conflict is never gone

But just as a calm sets in

A police line barricades a place next door

I asked around the lot

A store clerk told me two young kids were shot

Mother was near the tracks

Dragged to where a train would go past

[Chorus]

Every place is the same

Every day is the same

Every place is the same - violent

There's a conflicting sound

Hear the arguments loud - every day

Every place is the same

Every day is the same

Every place is the same - violent

There's a conflicting sound

Hear the arguments loud - every day

The sounds of the, violent, violent, violent, violent

The sounds of the violent

[Instrumental Break]
