Violent

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was something that I read in a book About a gang of bandits around a prairie fire One was going to empty his gun Into a sleeping man because he snored too loud Then another one stopped him there With the terror of two sailors in a smuggler's boat And the sailors were plenty scared They saw a dark shape swimming up the Strait of Hormuz [Chorus] If it's violent Good Cause if it's violent, it's understood And if it's violent Maybe It's all violent [Verse 2] The sailor tried to calm his friend With a tale about a couple in an apartment where The husband was slowly poisoning his wife His wife was telling night tales to their child About city cats and country mice And how the dogs in charge would eat their young And while they fought each other tooth and claw The suburban rats would fall down and laugh [Chorus] Cause it was violent Good Cause if it's violent, it's understood And if it's violent Maybe It's all violent
