Oh when, alright, when will the violence cease?
I wonder time and time again, when will we get some peace?
Alright
Day or night you fear for your life
And you don't know when you'll pass a gun or a knife

Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence
Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence

Hear me now, alright, while I tell it to you, now
Tell me how, how can a human be so cruel, now
They beat and rob you all that you've got
In exchange for your belongings you may even get shot

Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence
Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence

Hear me now, while I tell it to you, now, alright
Tell me how, how can a human be so cruel, now
They beat and rob you all that you've got
In exchange for your belongings you may even get shot

Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence
Stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence...
