Violent Society, what we got today,
Violent Society, just won't go away,
Violent Society, tell me what you find.
Violent Society, violence in your mind.
[Chorus:]
VIOLENT SOCIETY, WON'T GO AWAY
Violent Society, violence from the police
Violent Society, locked up no release,
Violent Society, kicking down the door
Violent Society, 1984...
Violent Society, friend fighting friend
Violent Society, where's it gonna end
Violent Society, black fighting white
Violent Society, this can't be right.
