Violent Lyrics - The Faint

I checked in a room today 

Up above the downtown market bricks 

Right now a boy gets old 

A boy gets bitter 

A boy learns not to trust 

Someone inside his room 

The door locks tight 

You keep the door locked 

Months went by and doors got kicked in 

Two outlaws collecting what they loaned 

In a room beside my walls 

A girl gets choked 

She can't pay back the loan 

48 more hours to go 

"48 more hours" that's all they say 

In two more nights 

I hear a sound 

A shrill from one thin wall away 

[Chorus] 

Every place is the same 

Every day is the same 

Every place is the same 

Violent 

There's a conflicting sound 

Hear the arguments loud 

Everyday, 

The sounds of the violent, violent, violent 

I moved uptown a bit 

Not much changed 

The conflict's never gone 

But just as a calm sets in 

A police line barracades 

A place next door I asked 

Around the lot a store 

Clerk told me two young 

Kids were shot mother 

Was near the tracks dragged 

To where a train would go past 

[Chorus: x2] 

The sounds of the violent, violent 

The sounds of the violent, violent
