Song Lyrics

So called reality right there on my TV
If that's how life's supposed to be
Well, somebody's lyin'
The camera's on and we can tell
To keep your fame you have to yell

'Cause tensions build and products sell
And we're all buyin'
I hope we're smarter than this

Everybody take a breath
Why are all your faces red?
We're missin' all the words you said
You don't have to yell

Draw your lines and choose your side
?Cause many things are worth the fight
But louder doesn't make you right
You don't have to yell, oh
You don't have to yell

I tuned in to hear the news
I don't want your point of view
If that's the best that you can do
Then something's missin'

And experts on whatever side
You plug your ears, you scream your lines
You claim to have an open mind
But nobody's listenin'
Don't you think we're smarter than this?

Everybody take a breath
Why are all your faces red
We're missin' all the words you said
You don't have to yell

Draw your lines and choose your side
Many things are worth the fight
But louder doesn't make you right
You don't have to yell
You don't have to yell

Everybody take a breath
Why are all your faces red
We're missin' all the words you said
You don't have to yell

If everyone will take the step
Back away and count to ten
Clear your mind and start again
We won't have to yell

Draw your lines and choose your side
Many things are worth the fight
But louder doesn't make you right
You don't have to yell
You don't have to yell
