Physical Violence Songtext
von Rough Trade

You′re intrigued with a mystique
Gloved hand discipline
I don't need a Ph.D.
To see you have criminal tendencies
I can feel your hands on my throat

Face turning red
I′m not your punching bag
Go to bed
Dish it out, but you can't take it
Physical violence won't abate it
Take a cold shower
I′ll raise the white flag
I′ll raise the white flag
I'll surrender unconditionally
No more physical violence

Muffled scream
Wanna dictate, dominate
Don′t wanna a repeat of the Second World War
That crap don't fizz on me


I can hear those bombs over Tokyo
V2s over London
Tanks on the Sahara
Fighters over Italy
Emperor Hirohito
Mussolini

Just because you have a flaccid ego
I can understand sympathize
I ain′t your ashtray
Try and cry
Dish it out, but you can't take it
Physical violence

Standing there in your leather drag
Shaking in your boots
Lash out, feel like a fool
With physical violence

I can see the terror in your eyes
Face turning red
I′m not your punching bag
Go to bed
Dish it out, but you can't take it
Physical violence won't abate it


Pour yourself a scotch
I′ll raise the white flag
I′ll raise the white flag
I'll surrender unconditionally
No more physical violence

You can′t, you can't manipulate me
Is it really physical (physical)
Physical (physical) physical violence
For you to dominate
Physical (physical) physical violence
Is it really physical
Physical (physical) physical violence
