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
