I hate living in a world where there's so much pain
We wallow in the cause, strapped by the mark of Cain
Living in a barrel of cold blue steel
Who's going to save us now
We've got to live together

Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop the violence

There's a woman in this town who walks on a wire
She lost everything she owned to the devil's desire
Fighting in the shadows, too afraid to be free
Life out of balance
God have mercy on me

Stop the violence
Stop the violence 
Stop the violence
Stop the violence

What's broken in the spirit now that's killing the soul
How do we save the children from walking down that road
Can I tie the truth down tight yes and teach them how to sing
Can love be the light
That will help us find our way back?

Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop the violence

I don't care what people think of me, don't know where to begin
A thousand ways, a thousand times, a thousand days
I'm gonna say it again
You can hide behind your church boy your politics and fame
Meet me at the roundhouse
I'm jumping on that peace train

Stop the violence 
(This place we're building)
Stop the violence
(Gonna house the children)
Stop the violence
(Where they gonna run)
Stop the violence
(With all the damage done)

Somehow, Someway
We'll be free someday
They're gonna say his name
They're gonna place the blame
While the world is turning
There's no way of knowing
Too many people dying
Too many children crying
