Violent World

A child’s tear, so full of fear
Falling from the arms of our makers
And the truth no lie replaces
And I fall from grace
And the hour breaks
To the end of this violent, violent world
In a violent world

And the world is free for you and me
Falling from the arms of our makers
And the truth no lie replaces
And I freeze in time
And we draw the line
To the end of this violent, violent world
Living In a violent world
Don’t need your violent world
Living In a violent world

World goes round
Degradation, solicitation, lust and temptation
(Degradation, solicitation, lust and temptation – Living in a violent world)
Superstition, politician, pain and frustration
(Superstition, politician, pain and frustration – Living in a violent world)
A child’s tear, so full of fear
A child’s tear, so full of fear
And we’re living in a violent, violent, violent, violent

(Bridge of song spoken by Walter Matthau)

I’m the joker; I make death into a game for people like you to get excited about
I watched you tonight; you’d love making it possible, wouldn’t you?
You’d love pressing that button, what a thrill that would be
Knowing you have to die, to have the power to take everyone else with you
The mob and their plans, their little hopes born to be murdered, turning away from it, closing their eyes to it
You could be the one to make it true
Do it

Up in the sky, looking down
All the people on the ground
They say bye bye
Say bye bye
Never hurt you
Daddy, look at the big bright light
Look at the blinding light streaming down on me
Blinding light, take my eyes
Killing me, take the light away
Light away, bye bye
Whole new world tomorrow
Whole new world
All the flowers gone
And the people gone
And the buildings gone

I wish I was an insect
So I could tell all my insect friends
The story of the blinding light
Took the lives of the big creatures

A child’s tear, so full of fear
A child’s tear, so full of fear
And we’re living in a violent, violent, violent, violent
In a violent world
Don’t need your violent world

Daddy, why’d you lie?
