Violent

(álbum: Under Color Of Official Right - 2014)

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

It's violent
Good
Cause if it's violent, it's understood
And if it's violent
Maybe
It's all violent

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

Cause it was violent
Good
Cause if it's violent, it's understood
And if it's violent
Maybe
It's all violent
