|
I hate to say it but I hear children crying |
|
I can't hear nothing but there are people dying |
|
I must say something so I keep on trying |
|
To break this wall of silence |
|
Man on the news used to say we was insecure |
|
But he can't tell those lies no more |
|
We kill ourselves daily |
|
Just can't keep score |
|
My way is paved with corpses |
|
I was told there'll never be a world war three |
|
What's all this terror coming down 'round poor me |
|
Gun in every pocket |
|
Gun in every street |
|
Can't beat the wall of silence |
|
Like powder and steel can make you feel free |
|
You wake up and find it's just a bad dream |
|
Like coke up the nose |
|
And you must face reality |
|
If these walls could speak |
|
I wonder what they'd say |
|
Would they whisper a curse |
|
Or recite a phrase |
|
They promise you love |
|
But brother you ain't going nowhere |
|
Inside the wall of silence |
|
They promise you the earth |
|
But buddy you ain't going nowhere |
|
Inside the wall of silence |
|
Inside the wall of silence |
|
Don't say a word |
|
You've got to cover these walls |
|
Bring down the wall |
|
Fly over the wall |
|
Tear it down |
