  • Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    How do you sleep when you live with your lies
    Out of your mouth, up from your mind
    That kind of thinking starts a chain reaction
    You are a time bomb ticking away

    Need to release what you're feeling inside
    Let out the beast that you're trying to hide
    Step right up and be a part of the action
    Go get your game face on because it's time to play
    You're pushing and fighting your way
    You're ripping it up

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    How do you live without playing the game
    Sit on the side and expect to keep sane?
    Step right up and be a part of the action
    Come get a piece of it before it's too late

    Take a look around, you can't deny what you see
    We're living in a violent society
    Well, my brother, let me show you a better way
    Get your game face on because it's time to play
    You're pushing and fighting your way
    You're ripping it up

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
    Another goddamn drone?
    Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
    Should I leave it on the inside?
    Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
    Another goddamn drone?
    Tell me, what am I supposed to be?
    Shouldn't I get ready to play?
    You're pushing and fighting your way
    You're ripping it up

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow

    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life if you've ever known anyone
    Bring the violence, it's significant
    To the life, can you feel it? Oh-ow-ow Writer/s: Dan Donegan, David Draiman, Mike Wengren, Steve Kmak

  • Zero from Nowhere, NjI love this song. The Sickness is kind of an angry album, but that's what attracted me to them in the first place. (well that, and that they have a KILLER sound, that you can simultaneously headbang AND dance to!) It could also be about beating each other up in the moshpit.
  • Daniel from Winchester, OhAnother great Disturbed classic, well to me it is, I love this song!!!
