Like cells in a body or bodies in cells
Slowly being shaped into shells of ourselves
Completely alone and surrounded by each other
United we suffocate, divided we suffer
We suffer violence from our isolation / Violence from addiction
Suffer violence from incarceration / Violence and oppression
Suffer violence on our bodies / Fucking violence on our voices
Yeah it's violence that we worship / In the violence of our choices
Violence x 8
It's violence in the schools and the streets and it's violence from the pigs
And it's violence so diluted we don't notice where the violence really is
It's violence in the actions that we take and the actions we endure
And it's violence so inherent we don't notice it until it's really pure
We suffer violence from assimilation / Violence from exclusion
Suffer violence when we're working / Fucking violence when we're using
Suffer violence when we're witness / To the violence of the system
Violence when we're speaking / Fucking violence when we listen
