Force Without Violence by The Used Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our voices still silenced
The plans that we've made
The dead cannot hear all the prayers that we beg
Is there force without violence?
Is there a catch with no hook?
Believing the lies while they fix all the books
[Pre-Chorus]
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
[Verse 2]
When fear breaks the silence
The choice has been made
We're listening now to the sounds from the grave
This brave opposition comes naturally
Being exactly who we're supposed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
[Bridge]
Won't take what we're given
Won't pay for our freedom
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
[Outro]
I don't have to say fuck you, when I could say fornicate
Or maybe copulate, I'll try to articulate
Go find seclusion, try self-reproduction
Autogamy's nation, epidemic inflation
Stroking your soaking and slippery faith
Keep pulling hard 'till it covers your face
I don't have to call you a dick when I can say, hypocrite
Treacherous hideous, ridiculous phallus
Meddling mischievous, hyper-banal
Intellectual syphilis
Keeping to crusty philosophy's clever
Standing out just like the rest
Just a member
Our voices still silenced
The plans that we've made
The dead cannot hear all the prayers that we beg
Is there force without violence?
Is there a catch with no hook?
Believing the lies while they fix all the books
[Pre-Chorus]
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
[Verse 2]
When fear breaks the silence
The choice has been made
We're listening now to the sounds from the grave
This brave opposition comes naturally
Being exactly who we're supposed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
[Bridge]
Won't take what we're given
Won't pay for our freedom
[Chorus]
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades, hey
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
There’s no price we won't pay
And we'll steal it back just to give it away, yeah
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
