The sons and brothers
Fighting for another cause
Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming
Far away from here
Said they would act
(Said they would act)
In self defense
And all the others
Running 'round so hot and bothered
Anything to give their lives some meaning
In the evening
Running around with guns
And said they would act
(Said they would act)
In self defense
(Self defense)
With violence
Violence breeds violence
(Ooh yeah, Ooh yeah)
Violence breeds violence
Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence
Ooh yeah, breeds yeah, breeds yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
The son and brother
When he gets home
He gives someone some love
And mutters, "Woman
(Mutters woman)
You'll never understand
(Never understand)
I did what I said
(Did what I said)
In self defense
With violence"
Violence breeds violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Violence breeds violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Ooh yeah, violence
Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence, yeah
