D# G C G# D# A#
In our world

[Chorus]
A# G# D#
Don't you know, it's just a simple choice we can choose to get along with each other
A#
Or go down, down, down, down
A# G# D#
Bow down to our hate and ours fears, bow down, bow down to our fists and our guns, bow down
A#
But I think we know what that gets us
A#
Don't you know, violence is suicide
G#
Don't you know, violence is suicide
D# A#
Don't you know, violence is suicide
