Silence

It's not the shouting
 Or the angry words
 It's not those looks
 Sideways glancing
 It's not do as I say
 It's not compliance
 It's the silence
 It's the silence
 It's not the reasoning
 It's not the logic
 It's not the questions
 Third degree
 It's not acceptance
 No, it's not defiance
 It's the silence
 It's the silence
 Fear of the unknown
 Is bad enough, yeah
 But saying nothing
 Says so much
 It ain't you, it ain't me
 Ain't where you come from
 Color of skin
 It's not about pain
 It ain't about violence
 It's the silence
 It's the silence
 It's the silence
 (Yeah)
 It's the silence
 No more silence
 No more silence
 No more silence
 No more silence
 Wait a minute, no more silence
 Stand up better, shout it out, shout it out
 Silence, yeah
 Won't you please shout it out, silence?
 No more, no more silence
 No, no, no, no, no, no, no
 No more silence, please, please, please
 No more silence, no more silence, yeah
 Scream a minute, scream a minute
 Silence, yeah, yeah, stop it now stop it now
 Silence, please no more, please no more
 Please no more, please no more silence
 Oh, no, no, no, no more silence
 Please, no more silence
