Lyrics
Violent Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here comes the night
Here comes the anger
Hidden so deep inside
No one can see
Behind these eyes
There walks a stranger
Wandering through the dark
Following me
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Electric light
Shining on your block
Sayin' to everyone
The power is on
While your alarm
Set up for safety
Keeps out invaders who come
But still can't control
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Got to fight to control
The violent side
Every day and night
I've got to fight
To control it
