Hear Us Now
Bite the bullet but no one will blame me
Take a hit but who's gonna save me
You put your finger on the trigger first
Take a chance on lethal injection
It's what you want you have my attention
It's only getting worse from here
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
Ladies and gentleman
The boys and girls have now taken over the show
And now you are only to be seen
And will not be listened to
I bet you didn't see it coming
We're fully loaded you better keep on running
No shelter's gonna keep you safe
Stand down, your people are in our hands
Stand up for those who didn't get the chance
Bring down your conscience to the grave
Can you hear us now
Can you hear us now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
The children's laughter fades out of existence
The cries and screams of their parents cut deep into our minds
As they rip every child limb to limb
With the deafening sound of their lips sealed shut
Who will speak in their defense
Kids of today have taken over and created an army of hope
This hope is looked on by adults as
Satan himself spitting honey from his lips
Will we achieve justice
Will we achieve justice
Can you hear us now
Can you hear me now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
To be seen
Not one
Not one could sing
Take a hit but who's gonna save me
You put your finger on the trigger first
Take a chance on lethal injection
It's what you want you have my attention
It's only getting worse from here
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
Ladies and gentleman
The boys and girls have now taken over the show
And now you are only to be seen
And will not be listened to
I bet you didn't see it coming
We're fully loaded you better keep on running
No shelter's gonna keep you safe
Stand down, your people are in our hands
Stand up for those who didn't get the chance
Bring down your conscience to the grave
Can you hear us now
Can you hear us now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
The children's laughter fades out of existence
The cries and screams of their parents cut deep into our minds
As they rip every child limb to limb
With the deafening sound of their lips sealed shut
Who will speak in their defense
Kids of today have taken over and created an army of hope
This hope is looked on by adults as
Satan himself spitting honey from his lips
Will we achieve justice
Will we achieve justice
Can you hear us now
Can you hear me now
Children's silence to be seen
Not one sang a word
We will not be heard
Sit and play, don't take the stage
The voices no one heard
To be seen
Not one
Not one could sing
