Act of Violence

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.

In the streets, ther's your life

The only place you rule

Here you're a king

No one else can be

You know the rules of this game

And you know it is all true

he strong survives

And the weak will die

There's no one else harder than you

There's none as cruel as you

The harder you get

The higher you get

Only violence rules the street

There's no place here for love

Don't trust your friends

It will be your end

You can hide all your feelings

But you never will stay the same

You may think this is life

But someday you will see who's to blame

Committing a new act of violence

Now again

You played your game

A few more on your list

How many more

Will have to die

Will it stop now

Is it enough

Or do you need some more

More begging for mercy, more cries of pain

You can hide all your feelings

But you never will stay the same

You may think this is life

But someday you will see who's to blame

Commiting a new act of violence

The day has come for you

To feel what is pain

They beat you up my friend

again and again

You were so stupid

When you thought this is cool

Now you're the victim, man

So now who's the fool?

Now you pay

For the things which you've done

Of course this is not fair

Four against one

But you know

All the rules in the street

Only the strong survives

This time it's me

(Why you're crying, man?

Does it hurt so bad?

You're dying, man

Oh, it's so sad)

You can hide all your feelings

But you never will stay the same

You may think this is life

But someday you will see who's to blame

Committing a new act of violence
