Za's Stair - You Shed Violence Lyrics

You shed violence on a somber street
Out of ammo, but don't admit defeat
If parsimony is a level plan
You are the only level-headed man

Arn, did you might
See a gory sight
Of the selfish ones
And their bricked-up life
In their hotel rooms
With their breakfast noons
Dripping for a time like solder

Sue, did you know
The turbaned ones can glow
At least that's what they say
In the news they show
See how they flail for space
When we turn the screws
Yelling for a time as if healthy

You shed violence although no one cares
It's prejudicial, but it's lacking stares
When sanctimony is de rigueur
You measure only what you see in her

Bo, did you see
That framed guy flee
From the game of Life
With his messed-up knee
In his grandma's shed
With the broken Vette
Panting for a time like crazy

Doc, did you catch
That garbled snatch
From his bleeding lips
Where the lies were hatched
In a frantic tone
A jagged tale was born
Naming some folks we can't bother

Ian did you make
A cut they can't take
From the studio
Where your voice was faked
In an office flat
Where the funds were at
Melting away like summer

You shed violence in a world at war
It's incongruous, but it's what's in store
When the Stasi come around smiling
We'll be nowhere, except on an island
