about

A revenge song inspired by the ruling of the People v. Turner 2015 case.

lyrics

He's a jack of all trades
and his parents are well paid
At night stalks his prey
All American star by day

Justice, oh what a mistress
where were you when we needed you the most

Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, let's start a riot
I know you weren't asking for it
he hasn't paid for his crime
I'll take into my own hands
he won't get away this time

In case you didn't know
my little black dress
doesn't mean I'm screaming yes
I gotta get this out of my head
and off my chest
your scarlet letter is burning my breast

Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, let's start a riot
I know you weren't asking for it
he hasn't paid for his crime
I'll take into my own hands
he won't get away this time

He said I was asking for it
and I said he did the same
he was asking for it
when I cut him with my blade

Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, you're turning violent
Violet, let's start a riot
I know you weren't asking for it
he hasn't paid for his crime
I'll take into my own hands
he won't get away this time
