Violent lyrics
by The Faint
[Verse 1]
I checked in a room today
Up above the downtown market bricks
Right now a boy gets old
A boy gets bitter, a boy learns not to trust
Someone inside his room
The door locks tight, you keep the door locked
[Verse 2]
Months went by and doors got kicked in
Two outlaws collecting what they loaned
In a room beside my walls
A girl gets choked, she can't pay back the loan
48 more hours to go, "48 more hours", that's all they say
In two more nights, I hear a sound, a shrill from one thin wall away
[Chorus]
Every place is the same
Every day is the same
Every place is the same - violent
There's a conflicting sound
Hear the arguments loud - every day
The sounds of the violent, violent, violent, violent
The sounds of the violent
(Violent)
[Verse 2]
I moved uptown a bit
Not much changed, conflict is never gone
But just as a calm sets in
A police line barricades a place next door
I asked around the lot
A store clerk told me two young kids were shot
Mother was near the tracks
Dragged to where a train would go past
[Chorus]
Every place is the same
Every day is the same
Every place is the same - violent
There's a conflicting sound
Hear the arguments loud - every day
Every place is the same
Every day is the same
Every place is the same - violent
There's a conflicting sound
Hear the arguments loud - every day
The sounds of the, violent, violent, violent, violent
The sounds of the violent
[Instrumental Break]
