This song was co-written by Britt Karroll, the teenaged daughter of Bif’s manager, Peter Karroll. Britt later went on to form a band with three of her friends called LiveonRelease.
Smiley, little baby snuggled in her mommy's arms
Pray you'll always keep your daughter
Safe and free from harm
I wish that everyone lived in a happy place
Sunshine and bright eyes on everybody's face
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's not about them or what they do
It's not about pride, it's about:
We must all understand
Violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's about life
It's about life
Apathy kills anger, and this is what you choose
There's always gonna be somebody who will lose
Did you ever stop and think about the world as is?
Life's about living, can't believe it's come to this
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's not about them or what they do
It's not about pride, it's about:
We must all understand
Violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's about life
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's not about them or what they do
It's not about pride, it's about:
We must all understand
Violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's about life
Open our eyes, you and I, children die, mothers cry, violence lies
Open our eyes, you and I, children die, mothers cry, violence lies
Open our eyes, you and I, children die, mothers cry, violence lies
Open our eyes, you and I, children die, mothers cry, violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's not about them or what they do
It's not about pride, it's about:
We must all understand
Violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's about life
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's not about them or what they do
It's not about pride, it's about:
We must all understand
Violence lies
It's not about me
It's not about you
It's about life
