Child of Violence

Yeah

Another child of violence

Another language gone silent

I am the red ribbon of legacy, rolling past the knees

Rivers of salt water carving out your cheeks

Another mother of heartbreak

Of bullshit in such high stakes

Another twisted trick of fate

Of too little too late

I could be a break in the chain

I could be a break in the chain

I could be a piece of the change

When I talk about it, I'll call it by it's name

Another one from the church pew

Would the son of God be angry, or just confused?

Another witch hunt under the blazing sun

Another white man standing with a hot gun

Another blue sky morning

In the land of the free to believe

Lies on the internet and the glamor of money

Missing the real thing

I could be a break in the chain

You could be a break in the chain

You could be a piece of the change

When you talk about it, call it by it's name

We've been talking our cues from the darker hues

Of destiny and cheap booze

Racking 'em up, setting 'em back

It didn't have to be like that

We could be a break in the chain

We could be a break in the chain

We could be a piece of the change

When you're talkin to me, call me by my name
