Violence
The Last Resort / Combat 84 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's rucking in the street and there's blood on your hands
You're boozing in the pub and going round in gangs
Cruising round in motors trying to get someone
Kick 'em stab 'em club 'em until the job is done

[Chorus]
There's violence in our town
There's violence all around

There's violence in your town
There's violence all around, around, around

People never learn however much you try
There's violence in your blood so someone's gota die
Cruising round in motors trying to get someone
Kick 'em stab 'em club 'em until the job is done

[Chorus]

Violence [Repeat: x3]

[Chorus]

Violence [Repeat: x3]
