Something In The Water

Why do some choose to tear down
What others work so hard to build?
Why do some take innocent lives
Feeling they've got the right to kill?
How can they face themselves in the mirror?
Where is the guilt, where is the shame?
How can it be so fucking easy
To cause such sorrow and pain?

There has to be a valid reason
Why some choose to be
A never-ending burden to
Our society

Is it something from their childhood
Or something in their genetic code?
Did they watch one too many
Violent TV shows?
If I was a politician
I could just dodge all these questions
But I'm not, so I'll search for answers
We'll probably never know

There has to be a valid reason
Why some choose to be
A never-ending burden to
Our society

It doesn't make any sense to me
And I don't think it's right
That someone I don't even know
Is fucking up my life

Why do passing glances
Always turn to crashing blows?
What breeds this need for violence?
What it is, I'd like to know
This vicious disposition
Where does it come from?
Is it something in the water
Or is it just something in our blood?

Something in our blood
