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
