Violence Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm, like, begging for it, baby
Makes you wanna party, wanna wake up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
'Cause you, ha, ha, you feed off hurting me
Off hurting me, yeah, ha
[Chorus]
I'm, like, begging for it, baby
Makes you wanna party, wanna wake up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
'Cause you, ha, ha, you feed off hurting me
Off hurting me, yeah, ha-ha
[Refrain]
You wanna make me bad, make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna make me bad? Pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
[Chorus]
I'm, like, begging for it, baby
Makes you wanna party, wanna wake up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
'Cause you, ha, ha, you feed off hurting me
Off hurting me, yeah
[Refrain]
You wanna make me bad, make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna make me bad? Pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
You wanna make me bad, make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna make me bad? Pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
You wanna make me, make me
Make-make me, make me, make-make me, make me
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna pay me, pay me
Pay me back-back, pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
[Outro]
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
And I like it like that

What did Grimes & i_o say about "Violence"?
This sounds sort of bad: In a way it feels like you’re giving up when you sing on someone else’s beats. I literally just want to produce a track. But it was sort of nice—there was just so much less pain in that song than I think there usually is. There’s this freedom to singing on something I’ve nev...
