Song Lyrics

Yes I know you're unhappy
Yes I know you've been crying
Can't you see by my eyes
That I've been crying too
But you'll have to scream louder
Because no one is listening
You can scream, you can shout
Don't expect to be heard
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder

Children are playing
While we're building weapons
But our toys are better
'Cause our toys are real
And it makes me feel angry
I feel so ashamed

You'll have to scream louder

I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel a hatred
It's growing inside
And there's nowhere to run to
'Cause there's nowhere to hide
You'll have to scream louder

Can't you see that I'm crying?
Do you think I'm pretending?
Can't you see by my eyes
These tears are real
And it make's me feel angry
I feel so helpless
And I feel so ashamed
I don't know what to do for the best
I'll have to scream louder
Yes I'll have to scream louder

If your conscience don't catch you
Then something else will

Count to one hundred
Hope you don't get killed
The war may be over
But the next one's for real
You'll have to scream louder

You'll have to scream louder
And I feel so angry
I feel so ashamed

I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel so frightened
And I feel so violent
