lyrics

Silence is golden
But let me hear a sound from you
We’ve come all away from our islands
A part of you always fooled

And then the truth breaks out
Now you can bend it all around
It would be cruel don’t break down

Well some things can change
Some things can change
Some things could change if we all fought

Do you not feel so alive?
When we unite
Feel it all over
Embrace and get stronger
Do you not feel so right?
Now that you realize
Streets full of looters
And states are outnumbered

All you need is love
Give up your pride
No extremists
Make truce with human kind
Once you see it they’ve lost their simple minds
White supremacist
Make truce with human kind

And then the truth breaks out
Now you can bend it all around
It would be cruel don’t break down

Well some things can change
Some things can change if we all fight

Silence is golden, not now
Make a sound
Let them hear you come
