So much violence in our name
life, a 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
