Day and night
They prowl about the city
Malice and abuse knows no pity
Destructive forces
Shows a mean streak
Threats and lies
Never leave the streets
Senseless violence
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
Political speeches
As smooth as butter
Yet it's war, war, war
That's in their hearts
Their words are more
Soothing than oil
But you better beware
Or else you'll be foil
Senseless violence
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
I see them in New York City
In South Africa
Zimbabwe, oh yeah
Now don't be amaze to see
Ignorance dressed in respectability
Malice and abuse they know no pity
Freedom is going cheap
But can you afford the price
Life's a gamble they say
Go ahead and roll the dice
Senseless violence
(Can you hear the children crying)
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
(I'm pleading to mankind)
Senseless violence
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
(In Brixton Town)
Senseless violence
(Miami Dade)
Knows no bounds
(Brooklyn)
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
Senseless violence
(In Zimbabwe)
Knows no bounds
(In South Africa)
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
Senseless violence
(In Shanty Town)
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
Senseless violence
(In Rodney Bay)
Knows no bounds
It's not easy when
You're living on shaky ground
(Take a look around the world and see)
Senseless violence
