Violent By Nature Lyrics - Atrophy

Morbid fascination instilled within our young 

Raised and weaned on cold steel, the damage it has brung 

Little plastic war toys always within reach 

Replicas of war, what lessons do they teach 

Pre-chorus: 

Minimal control, that's why this land is great 

Accidental death, the lesson learned too late 

Escalating tensions sweeping 'cross our land 

A gun beneath your pillow you fail to understand

Images of violence flicker on the screen 

Taken in by young eyes unsure of what it means 

Violent heritage echoed in their games 

Countless shattered lives, no one learns their names 

Repeat pre-chorus 

Chorus: 

Violent by nature (4x) 

Solo: Lykins

Children raised on violence, soon no place to run 

Setting fights with bullets, the nightmare's just begun 

Staring out the window, your child plays with friends 

Waving plastic pistols, the circle never ends 

Repeat pre-chorus 

Repeat chorus
