You Don't Have To Yell - Chris Rice

So-called reality

Right htere on my TV

If tha’s how life’s supposed to be, well

Somebody’s lyin'

The camera’s on and we can tell

To keep you 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 missing

And experts on whatever side

You plug your ears, you scream you lines

You claim to have an open mind, but

Nobody’s listenin'

Don’t you think we’re smarter than this?

Bridge

If everyone will take the step

Back away and count to ten

Clear your mind and start again

We won’t have to yell
