You'll Have to Scream Louder

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 louderChildren 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 ashamedYou'll have to scream louderI'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 louderCan'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 louderIf your conscience don't catch you

Then something else willCount 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 louderYou'll have to scream louder

And I feel so angry

I feel so ashamedI'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
