Domestic Violence
(lyrics & music by Chris Watson, Copyright ©.)
Scotty and Michelle fight with fists, wrenches, etc. Finally, they break up.
Lyrics
[C-minor part (instrumental 1x, vocal 3x)]
Domestic violence. Domestic violence. Domestic violence.
[B-minor high-hat part (2x)]
[G rock steady]
Always thinking of himself, never thinks of no-one else.
Doesn't try to please his wife, taking care of his own life.
[B rock steady]
She is always selfish too: always wants something to do,
never thinks of no-one else, always thinking of herself.
(And it comes back around,)
[G rock steady]
Doesn't want to reason why, only wanting to get high.
(what you do)
Instant pleasure is his goal, never thinking of his soul.
(reflects on you.)
[B rock steady]
(She wants instant pleasure too to escape her feeling blue,
and it goes back to you.)
[G rock steady]
He is tired of his wife, wonders what went wrong with life,
loses patience and his temper while his little children whimper.
[B-minor high-hat part (2x)]
[C-minor part (instrumental 1x, vocal 3x)]
Domestic violence. Domestic violence. Domestic violence.
[B-minor high-hat part (2x)]
[G rock steady]
Disagreement, tempers fly. Words exchanged make her cry.
Doesn't care anymore, slams his wife against the door.
[B rock steady]
She grabs a wrench and hits him back, to defend against attack.
Hits him hard in her pain, wants to find her love again.
(And it comes back around,)
[G rock steady]
He's a brute to hit his wife like a lower form of life.
(what you do)
It is only his dishonor; their relationship's a goner.
(reflects on you.)
[B rock steady]
(Better for the childrens' sake that this couple take a break
from the trouble they make.)
[G rock steady]
Finally he decides to split, call it quits, hell with it!
Things not getting any better, time to leave his wife.
Forget her!
