Violent School Lyrics

Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school

Twenty people livin' on a desert isle
They're all friendly, they all smile
Then the food supply gets too low
Twenty people, ten gotta go

Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school

A thousand people gather in the streets of Manhattan
The lights go out, guess what happens?
It's time to steal, it's time to shoot!
It's time to rob, taste my boot!

Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!
Violence rules!

Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
Violence rules, guns are cool
Violence rules, guns are cool
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A very satirical song about the glorification of violence. They're also saying when things go wrong, our gut reaction is to immediately become violent, and we shouldn't do that.
