Silence Is Golden

War with an enemy we cannot reach
 So we turn our rage to the man on the street
 No profit in unity
 Our silence no longer speaks
 ♪
 Face it, you know you're never gonna change it
 From subliminal to blatant, keeping you complacent, terrified
 Fake it, I'd do anything to make it
 All alone I sit upon my throne, it's so close I can taste it
 Push in and split the skin
 Give in to sin
 Obey? You should know by now
 You can't hold me down
 Better watch your mouth
 Or I'll knock you out
 Obey? You should know by now
 We stand our ground
 Better watch your mouth
 One slip and they'll snuff you out
 You're the first and last word, who's first and who's third?
 You took all their worth and the worst is unheard of
 The puppets narrate the word of the day
 They're talking in circles, I need to think straight
 So I followed the water up stream
 And now I can't hear myself think
 The river moans, the ocean's woes, it never sleeps
 Obey? You should know by now
 You can't hold me down
 Better watch your mouth
 Or I'll knock you out
 Obey? You should know by now
 We stand our ground
 Better watch your mouth
 One slip and they'll snuff you out
 War with an enemy we can't reach
 So we turn our rage to the man on the street
 We wait for compassion to overcome self interest
 Far too patiently
 We're still slaves to a media driven binary
 'Cause those that know know there's no profit in unity
 Our silence no longer speaks
 Silence is golden
 To those who control it
