Violence - P.F. Sloan

Violence, it’s what I wanna see

Violence on the big screen and TV

In all my favorite sports

In all the news reports

Is it just me or is it we can never seem to get enough of

Violence, in whatever form it takes

Violence, and all the money that it makes

Like some strange extreme bizarre attraction

Movie explosions, car wreck satisfaction

Am I watching way too much?

I’m wondering now, is this alright

Or is this some demonic delight?

Scholars and theologians can’t agree, yeah

Well, the war of the world is on tonight

Terrorists, hurricanes, horrific sights

It’s everywhere in everything but me

Violence and the art of make believe

Laughing at the phony blood they bleed

Shooting pixel guns from plasma screens

Harmless fun but with killers' dreams

I mean, I mean, I mean, you know, you know what I mean

You say it’s always been this way, sir

Bible, Shakespeare, Bhagavad Gita

Police and politicians might agree

But the war of the world is on again tonight

Bloody battle scenes and gangland fights

It’s everywhere, it’s in everything but me

Violence, ah, that’s what I wanna see

Violence on the big screen and TV

In all my favorite sports

In all the news reports

I can’t seem to get enough, no

Violence, how sick am I?

Violence, can’t get enough, enough

Violence, can’t get enough, enough

Violence, how sick am I?

Violence, can’t get enough

Violence
