I can't stand feeling violent

But it's hard not to sometimes

When the innocent get slaughtered

And the guilty get a fine

When I drown myself in chemicals

Do I even have a choice?

And if you scream and no one hears you

Are you even making noise?



We don't need to be coddled or to be told life is fair

By an omnipresent army with a power to be feared

So as we time out half-assed platforms

As the victims form a line

Will the Riot Squad Protection Force

Ever try to fight for life?

All I want to do is hold you

But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight

Until the energy leaves your body

And the tears fall from your eyes



All I want to do is hold you

And I'm gonna squeeze you tight

Until I feel your heart restarting

I'll bring the joy back to your life
