The sons and brothers, fighting for another cause

Anything to give their lives some meaning

Busy with their guns and dreaming

Far away from here

Said they would act in self-defense



And all the others, running 'round so hot and bothered

Anything to give their lives some meaning

In the evening

Running around with guns and

Said they would act in self-defense

With violence



Violence

Violence

Violence breeds

Violence

Violence breeds



The son and brother, when he gets home

He gives someone some love

And mutters: "Woman, you'll never understand

I did what I said in self-defense

With violence"



Violence breeds

Violence

Violence breeds

Violence
