We mostly keep to ourselves round here
No sense rocking the boat round here
We watch you dance into hell round here
It’s time we speak his mind round here

So open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands; you can love with your deeds
But how will they know if we won’t even speak

We are the social workers
And we’ll put springs on your car
We’ll make your ride so smooth
That you’ll forget where you are
Don’t forget where you are

Chorus

Cause I’m getting sick and I’m getting tired
Of not even hearing us preach to the choir

Chorus

They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us

I've given my life to become what I am
To preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us

Seven years of power
The corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow

The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word [Revolution]
The word is all of us
Speak the word [Revolution]
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the Word
The word is all of us

SPEAK!!!

all songs written by SEVENDUST 1996

Free? You better love me,
And hide or run away
From all your yesterday's.

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way,
Oh yeah, yeah.
Well I never knew, but I believe,
That your trust in me,
Oh, will speak to me.

in Way beyond your controlling mind (mind),
And no more believing in all your precious lies.

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way,
Oh yeah, yeah.
Well I never knew, but I believe,
That you trust in me.

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way,
Oh yeah, yeah.
Well I never knew, but I believe,
That your trust in me,
Oh, will speak to me.

In finding balance between lies and trust
They'll never be a better source,
Than to speak your truth or make your peace in some other way.

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way,
Oh yeah, yeah.
Well I never knew, but I believe,
That your trust in me,
Oh, will speak to me.

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way,
Oh yeah, yeah.
I never knew, but I believe,
That your trust in me,
Oh, will speak to me.

Speak.
Speak.
Speak.

Speak!

Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eye's tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come

[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my arms to yours
It seems to me, no mystery
Well it isn't
So I'll try hard to speak

Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine

[Chorus]
And it's not me
Not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear
So I'll try not to speak

how can i speak?
you've taken all the words
nothing to say
when you know you can't be heard
and silence isn't golden, it's absurd
but you won't give me the words

how can i live?
you've taken all the ways
nothing to do
just filling up the days
and this is not a role i choose to play
but i don't have a say

push me down but don't complain
if i don't join in your game s

I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I don't wanna wake up here again
If I could hear myself speak
I don't think id talk a word again
I've not got a words with way
I've not got much to do or say
Nobody let me in
I'll never finish so why begin

Give it some time
Give yourself hope
Or I'll give you mine
Cause I don't need it anymore

Theres no accounting for taste
Lets agree to disagree
I'm a good person going two ways
You can leave but I've got to live with me

Give it some time
Give yourself hope
Or I'll give you mine
Cause I don't need it anymore

Im sorry I spoke
Had all my eggs in one basket
It broke
But I don't need them anymore
Oh I tried
This will has run dry
Do you fall a thousand times before you fly
Time goes by been living a lie
Gotta fall a thousand times before we fly so

Give it some time
Give yourself hope
Or I'll give you mine
Cause I don't need anymore

I'm letting it go
I know what I like
And don't like what I know
Cause I don't know me anymore

I must be crazy to beat me
must be crazy to beat me

I'm letting it go

[Whisper:] Speak speak speak your heart flow

Everybody's got a point of view
And the right to their own opinion
So don't be scared of what I'm gonna do
When you let me know your intuition

No one makes you think
That I won't get it
No one makes you think that
I won't get your love tonight

[Chorus:]
Speak come on and let it out
Give it to me you know that I can take it
Speak because the more you say the more I'm at ease
Come on don't keep me waiting now
I don't wanna guess, not a test, tell me what your thinking
Keep it real, no big deal
Tell me what your dreaming
Speak let it out... Breathe

[Whisper:] Speak uh straight from your heart

It cant be wrong it can only be right
Just show me what you are feeling
You'll be surprised that how easy it is
Just open up its so healing

So what makes you think that I won't get it
So what makes you think that I won't get your love tonight.

[Chorus]

[Whisper:] Speak uh straight from your heart

You gotta let it out [2x]

[Parts of Chorus and chorus full 2x]

C'mon and let it out
C'mon and let it out..
(Speak) Because the more you say the more I'm at ease
