Conviction by Contravene
Conviction lyrics
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, surely there's a
better way
Do we have no conviction for the words we like to say?
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
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, surely there's a
better way
Do we have no conviction for the words we like to say?
If we refuse to start to care then this is how things
will stay
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
