Hope is what I see
As I look around at all of the lost eyes
And when
I hear the lies
As we’re flooded from the tears that those have cried
And when
A bomb drops
As the screams decrescendo as there skin turns to dust
And when
I shake my head
At the distrust that some believe is the solution
When it’s not
So I stand up as all your eyes fall on me
My heart speeds up as fear makes a leash
Around my neck it holds me down
To the desk but I still speak out because, because, because
Teacher that isn’t my opinion that is wrong
It doesn’t take a genius to know that
That is not the answer
I’m not sure what it is
It’s Hypocritical
The kill trains leaving all a board
Come watch as life is ended short
These tracks are heading straight for war
Hit the breaks before blood hits the floor
I will speak up, speak up, speak up to you
I will speak up, speak up, speak up to you
I will speak up, speak up, speak up to you
The missile is launched as we hold our tongue
A man in camouflage shot some people with a gun
In honesty I don’t think peace was won
So I stand up as all your eyes fall on me
My heart speeds up as fear makes a leash
Around my neck it holds me down
To the desk but I still speak out because, because, because
Teacher that isn’t my opinion that is wrong
It doesn’t take a genius to know that
That is not the answer
I’m not sure what it is
It’s Hypocritical
The kill trains leaving all a board
Come watch as life is ended short
These tracks are heading straight for war
Hit the breaks before blood hits the floor
