Violence Forever? - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Johnny Borrell]

My mother said

When I was small

"You see those people

We're not like those people"

My father said

And this is what he said

"If you need a lesson

I'll teach you a lesson"

Alright

Right, right, right

[Chorus: Johnny Borrell]

Violence forever

Violence forever and...

Violence forever?

[Verse 2: Johnny Borrell]

'Bout 5 years old

Heroes brave and bold

Set my heart beating

My senses overheating

For justice fighters, silver riders

Who always beat the bad guy

Got to beat the villain real bad

They beat him hard, hard, hard

[Chorus: Johnny Borrell]

Violence forever

Violence forever and...

Violence forever?

[Bridge 1: Johnny Borrell]

Until it all comes 'round again

And again

[Bridge 2: Johnny Borrell]

From my bed at night

I see the world is turning

Hope we're getting it right

Yeah, someone must be learning

I'm, I'm ready to learn

I'm, I'm ready to trust

This time

Or hope this time

Violence forever

[Verse 3: Johnny Borrell]

My guru said

"Desire is death"

Keep your step gentle

So damn transcendental

Western man say

"Freedom's on it's way"

Let's kill lots and lots of people

Yeah, lots and lots of people

Alright

Right, right, right

[Chorus 3: Johnny Borrell]

Violence forever

Violence forever and...

Violence forever?

Violence forever and...

[Outro: Johnny Borrell]

Who, me?
