History of Violence

The city's on fire, the streets are a riot
 Now look at this place, no one is safe
 No one is safe from you
 So beautiful, she knew it every single day
 Got a smile that left him right around the way
 Yeah, makes you feel good, wondering why she stays
 So afraid, afraid of you
 She need a sedative to get a strain
 You know she need a cigarette, she got the shakes
 Put them sunglasses on to hide her face
 Such a waste, a waste on you
 Tell me, why you ashamed?
 Too scared to run away
 You love him anyway
 Surviving just on the pain
 The city's on fire, the streets are a riot
 Now look at this place, no one is safe
 No one is safe from you
 Oh, look what you've started
 It's a history of violence
 Now look at your face, no one is safe
 No one is safe from you
 Maybe the way out is a .38
 God gave her a sign, not a moment late
 Tonight she's gonna point it at his fucking face
 Then bang, he's blown away
 Tell me, why you ashamed?
 Too scared to run away
 You love him anyway
 Surviving just on the pain
 Tell me where she went wrong
 She is sadness in every song
 She knows someday that she'll be gone
 Until then, please, stay strong

 Now look at your face, no one is safe

 Still in shock from the blast, sure the neighbors heard it
 Now or never, crossed a man that it wasn't worth it
 No regrets from what the judge calls a bad decision
 Now she's doing twenty years in a women's prison
 Yeah, she'll never have her life, will she feel at all?
 She'll never know what it's like not to feel alone
 No kids that will love her unconditional
 No cure for a sickness that's medicinal
 She's flying high in her cell, she can finally breathe
 She's flying high outta hell, now she finally free
 Man, he fed her to the lions, that monster
 He promised her diamonds for silence
 It's the history of violence
 The city's on fire, the streets are a riot
