On the tv news, in paper every day Seems there's another war it's in another place The poorer that you get the shorter That the fuse becomes You gotta fight to live Lower forms of life are wooing in the streets Can you believe they're talking about you and me? All the jobs are gone see the grown man weep You gotta fight to live Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they don't care Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they got theirs There is violence in the air Violence in the air Violence! In suffering and violence we must wash ourselves Ram raid supermarkets empty all the shelves Dancing on the corpse of a brave new world We gotta fight to live Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they don't care Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they got theirs There is violence in the air Violence in the air Violence! The fascists fuel the nazis christian Skinheads kick to kill In the church of christ they say it's all God's will We brought in our selves because we are evil The wages of our sin is death They choke us all with paranoia to making us forget Liberty's sweet breath They don't know any more than you and me Because you see they're evil Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they don't care Sick but true, but everything they do Is just telling you they got theirs There is violence in the air Violence in the air Violence!
