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
Violence breeds
