i think this song is saying that we're living in a violent world, and its pretty damn hard NOT to live without getting involved in it in one way or another.
whether you're beating your wife, fighting to survive on the streets, or watching and hearing about it all on the news, everyone is affected by the violence somehow.
also, the title and the chorus tell that the violence is NEEDED, either because its now considered 'normal' or because its what people want to hear about (look at tool's song 'vicarious' for the same view).
