Violence
-words and music © 2011 Chris Monti

People sit in broken rooms | Wondering where to go | People shuffle towards the door | Wondering why it is so |

People wander City Hall | Minds wallowing in despair | Dragging hands over peeled walls | Eyes fixed in a crazy stare |

Families on the open road | Faces pressed to the glass | Pull the plug, turn the crank | I’ve saved up some money for gas |

People driving in their cars | Not going anywhere | Wheels rolling dirty tar | The wind is in my hair |

With the might and right of Providence | We’ll clean our house of decadence | We’ll tax it out, we’ll raise the rents | We’ll arm the men who watch the fence |

| What we see is violence | Under the guise of self defense | Name and subjugate the dissidents | While the righteous swell to corpulence|
