Violence on t.v., violence on the news Reality and fiction both served up neatly to keep us all amused Reality and fiction have both become the same Instead of facing the facts we search for new scapegoats to blame The time has come to stop sitting back To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap Violence isn't acceptable in any form So let's work together to make peace the norm" The blame lies not within the system The blame lies not with the state The blame lies not within religion We've all learned to love to hate It lies within each and every one of us The time has come to stop sitting back To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap Violence isn't acceptable in any form So let's work together to make peace the norm" A society fed on violent shit Will go out on the streets And start to re-enact Fighting, muggings, sexual assaults Become part of the everyday scene People acting out what they have seen on the t.v. screen The time has come to stop sitting back To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap Violence isn't acceptable in any form So let's work together to make peace the norm" The time has come to change Before it's too late Because when we drop the bombs There will be no one left to love or hate The time has come to stop sitting back To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap Violence isn't acceptable in any form So let's work together to make peace the norm"
