Silence Is Golden - Trash Boat

War with an enemy we can’t reach

So we turn our rage to the man on the street

No profit in unity

Our silence no longer speaks

Face it

You know you’re never gonna change it

From subliminal to blatant

Keeping you complacent or terrified

Fake it

I’d do anything to make it

All alone upon my throne it’s so close I can taste it

Push in and split the skin

Give in to sin

Obey

You should know by now

You can’t hold me down

Better watch your mouth

Or I’ll knock you out

Obey

You should know by now

We stand our ground

Better watch your mouth

One slip and they’ll snuff you out

You’re the first and last word

Who’s first and who’s third?

You took all their worth and the worst is unheard of

The puppets narrate the word of the day

They’re talking in circles, I need to think straight

So I followed the water up stream

And now I can’t hear myself think

The river moans the oceans woes, it never sleeps

Obey

You should know by now

You can’t hold me down

Better watch your mouth

Or I’ll knock you out

Obey

You should know by now

We stand our ground

Better watch your mouth

One slip and they’ll snuff you out

War with an enemy we can’t reach

So we turn our rage to the man on the street

We wait for compassion to overcome self interest

Far too patiently

We’re still slaves to a media driven binary

Because those that know know there’s no profit in unity

Our silence no longer speaks

Silence

Is golden

To those

Who control it

Obey

You should know by now

You can’t hold me down

Better watch your mouth

Or I’ll knock you out

Obey

You should know by now

We stand our ground

Better watch your mouth

One slip and they’ll snuff you out
