Don't you know, it's just a simple choice we can choose to get along with each other

Or go down, down, down, down

Bow down to our hate and ours fears, bow down, bow down to our fists and our guns, bow down

But I think we know what that gets us

Don't you know, violence is suicide

Don't you know, violence is suicide

Don't you know, violence is suicide
