So much violence in our name 
Our lives are silence, masked in shame

 [bad word] in the streets 
Soldier boots are on their feet 
Mothers bare the burdens of our defeats 
Fathers are on their knees praying for mercy 

So much violence in our name 
Holding me like your shield 
Holding me like your shield 
So much violence in our name 
life, a silence masked in shame 

No more, no more, no more (no more) 
No more, no more, no more (no more) 
No more, no more, no more (no more) 
No more, no more, no more (no more) 

Holding me like your shield 
Holding me like your shield 
Holding me like your shield 
Holding me like your shield 

No more violence in our name 
No more violence in our name 

No more, no more, no more
