E C D G F#
Violence, a way of life It took a long time For me to see the light
E C D G F#
Bruise knuckles and broken bones Saw enough of them Now I know
E C D G F#
It takes more strength to turn and walk Cuz no one's ever changed
E C D
From a kick to the teeth Or a punch to the chin We fight and fight But never win
G D
Took a long time to see Now it's clear to me
C G D
How did we end up here? Through violence and fear
G D
Took a long time to see Now it's clear to me
C D
We can't change the world But we can change ourselves

Generation full of hate As for now I can't see the end

Watching the news just make you sick Another bomb threat, another racist prick

There is no love I've had enough Just stop the world, I want to get off
