You Have No Right to Remain Violent
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
to dance. The lyrics to Cledus T. Judd's song, You Have No Right to Remain Violent, chronicle the aftermath of what went terribly wrong in a seemingly innocuous request to dance. The singer is left battered and bruised both emotionally and physically, nursing a broken nose, eyes full of mace, and a crotch kick. In the song, the singer is reeling from the realization that the person they had thought they wanted is not who they really are, as evidenced by the violent outburst.
Line by Line Meaning
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
