Conviction Songtext

von Contravene

We talk about autonomy and respect, but all I see is a lack of responsibility
Sometimes the difference between what's wrong or right, is not just a matter of personal insight.
We shouldn't have to worry about punks driving while intoxicated
We shouldn't have the stupid fights when people are annihilated
We shouldn't have to hear the many statements based on bigotry
With negative references to gender, race and others sexuality.
An honest mistake or an act of convenience?
An honest mistake or a pure lack of common sense?
Do we have no conviction for the words we like to say?
Riding down this path of stagnancy, surly there's a better way..
If we refuse to start to care then this is how things will stay.
Think before you consume, think before you act
If we don't, nothing will change - It's a proven fact.
If we're gonna sit back and complain about the laws we shouldn't need,
Then go and committ the very crimes on which law makers feed
Don't try to play "make-believe" in this false reality
Where you steal from friends and don't give a fuck while screaming "anarchy".
We talk about respect
And autonomy
But all that I see, is a lack of responibility
Sometimes the difference, between what's wrong or right,
Is not a matter of opinion, or personal insight..
