Lyrics

(Tennant/lowe)
----------------
The sons and brothers, fighting for another cause
Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming
Far away from here
Said they would act (said they would act)
In self-defense

And all the others, running 'round so hot and bothered
Anything to give their lives some meaning
In the evening
Running around with guns and
Said they would act (said they would act)
In self-defense
With violence

Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence)
(Ooh yeah, breeds yeah, breeds yeah)
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

The son and brother, when he gets home
He gives someone some love
And mutters: "woman, (mutters woman)
You'll never understand (never understand)
I did what I said (did what I said)
In self-defense
With violence"

Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

(Ooh yeah, violence)
(Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence)
