From the Heart

Sorry if our notes are too sharp Sorry if our voice is too raw Don't make the pen a weapon And censor our intelligence Until our thoughts mean nothing at all Sorry if you take offense You made up rules and played pretend We know you fear change It's something so strange But nothing's gonna' get in our way There's no room For your backward feelings And your backyard dealings We're never gonna settle We're never gonna settle No, we won't remain silent Know it's our defining moment We sing from the heart We sing from the heart No, we won't be complacent Know it's a rock n roll nation We sing from the heart We sing from the heart Sorry if we try too hard To take some power back for ours The language of oppression Will lose to education Until the words can't hurt us again So sorry if you take offense But silence will not make amends The system's all wrong And it won't be long Before the kids are singing our song There's no room For your backward feelings And your backyard dealings We're never gonna settle We're never gonna settle No, we won't remain silent Know it's our defining moment We sing from the heart We sing from the heart No, we won't be complacent Know it's a rock n roll nation We sing from the heart We sing from the heart
