Yes I know you've been crying
Can't you see by my eyes
That I've been crying too
But you'll have to scream louder
Because no one is listening
You can scream, you can shout
Don't expect to be heard
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
Children are playing
While we're building weapons
But our toys are better
'Cause our toys are real
And it makes me feel angry
I feel so ashamed
You'll have to scream louder
I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel a hatred
It's growing inside
And there's nowhere to run to
'Cause there's nowhere to hide
You'll have to scream louder
Can't you see that I'm crying?
Do you think I'm pretending?
Can't you see by my eyes
These tears are real
And it make's me feel angry
I feel so helpless
And I feel so ashamed
I don't know what to do for the best
I'll have to scream louder
Yes I'll have to scream louder
If your conscience don't catch you
Then something else will
Count to one hundred
Hope you don't get killed
The war may be over
But the next one's for real
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
And I feel so angry
I feel so ashamed
I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel so frightened
And I feel so violent
Yes I know you're unhappy Yes I know you've been crying Can't you see by my eyes That I've been crying too But you'll have to scream louder Because no one is listening You can scream, you can shout Don't expect to be heard You'll have to scream louder You'll have to scream louder Children are playing While we're building weapons But our toys are better 'Cause our toys are real And it makes me feel angry I feel so ashamed You'll have to scream louder I've got no respect for People in power They make their decisions From their ivory towers And I feel a hatred It's growing inside And there's nowhere to run to 'Cause there's nowhere to hide You'll have to scream louder Can't you see that I'm crying? Do you think I'm pretending? Can't you see by my eyes These tears are real And it make's me feel angry I feel so helpless And I feel so ashamed I don't know what to do for the best I'll have to scream louder Yes I'll have to scream louder If your conscience don't catch you Then something else will Count to one hundred Hope you don't get killed The war may be over But the next one's for real You'll have to scream louder You'll have to scream louder And I feel so angry I feel so ashamed I've got no respect for People in power They make their decisions From their ivory towers And I feel so frightened And I feel so violent Explain Request ×
