You Have No Right to Remain Violent
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I asked you to dance
Now my nose is broken
Must've said somethin' wrong
Gosh, I was just jokin'
But it's hard not to cry
With a gussied up eye
My face sprayed with mace
If ya didn't want to dance
You could've just said so
And if I'd only ducked fast
Then I wouldn't have bled so
Do you think there's a chance
You could call an ambulance?
Oh God, I'm in pain

You have no right to remain violent
That kick to my crotch
Uh, that was very uncalled for
You continued to beat and beat me
'Till I was black and blue
I've been wantin' you
But not any longer
'Cause it's brutally clear
That you're so much stronger
I'm madder than fire
My jaws are both wired
One hell of a date

I didn't know my bladder had failed me
Until I looked down at my pants
I think I'm in desperate need of hospitalization
But I ain't got no danged insurance

You have no right to remain violent
That kick to my crotch
Uh, that was very uncalled for
You continued to beat and beat me
'Till I was black and blue
I've been wantin' you
But not any longer
'Cause it's brutally clear
That you're so much stronger
'Cause I'm madder than fire
My jaws is both wired
That's one hell of a date

I bought a camcorder
Got a restrainin' order
Now lay you're hands on me





I guess that's what you get when you ask a perfect stranger

Well, I asked you to dance
I invited you to dance with me


Now my nose is broken
You broke my nose


Must've said somethin' wrong
I might have said something inappropriate


Gosh, I was just jokin'
It was a harmless joke


But it's hard not to cry
It's difficult not to cry


With a gussied up eye
My eye is swollen


My face sprayed with mace
You sprayed my face with pepper spray


If ya didn't want to dance
If you didn't want to dance,


You could've just said so
You could have refused politely


And if I'd only ducked fast
If I had dodged the punch


Then I wouldn't have bled so
I wouldn't have bled as much


Do you think there's a chance
Do you think you could help me call for an ambulance?


You have no right to remain violent
It's not acceptable to be violent


That kick to my crotch
You kicked me in the groin


Uh, that was very uncalled for
It was an inappropriate and unnecessary action


You continued to beat and beat me
You kept hitting me


'Till I was black and blue
Until my bruises turned black and blue


I've been wantin' you
I was attracted to you


But not any longer
But not anymore


'Cause it's brutally clear
Because it's now very obvious


That you're so much stronger
That you're physically stronger than me


I'm madder than fire
I'm really angry


My jaws are both wired
My jaws are wired shut (because of injury)


One hell of a date
A terrible experience


I didn't know my bladder had failed me
I didn't realize I had peed myself


Until I looked down at my pants
Until I noticed the wetness on my pants


I think I'm in desperate need of hospitalization
I believe I need urgent medical attention


But I ain't got no danged insurance
But I don't have health insurance


I bought a camcorder
I purchased a video camera


Got a restrainin' order
I got a legal order to keep you away from me


Now lay you're hands on me
Now you are prohibited from touching me
