"Violence" lyrics

Violence is never the answer
But still they stand there with their guns held high
Violence is never the answer
Tear gas till you start to comply
How do we cut out this cancer?
That's the question that I think most at night
How do we cut out this cancer?
If violence is never the answer

Unless it is
Unless it is

So how can they tell us that violence is never the answer
Maybe they're wrong
Maybe they're right
Violence is never the answer
Whilst they're banging on their shields with their helmets on tight
Tell me how do we cut out this cancer?
That's the question that I think most at night
How do we cut out this cancer?
If violence is never the answer

Unless it is
Unless it is
Unless it is
Unless it is

So how can they tell us to
Get down on the ground, shut your mouth. Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
There's only one resolution
Viva, viva la revolution

Violence is never the answer
Maybe it is, maybe it's not
Violence is never the answer
Banging on their shields whilst we're banging on the drums
Violence is never the answer
Maybe it is. Maybe it's not
But tell me how do we cut out this cancer
If violence is never the answer

Unless it is
Unless it is
Unless it is
Unless it is
So how can they tell us that violence is never the answer
Violence is never the answer, unless it is
