When we speak

When we speak

 

Why you gotta look that way?

why you gotta spit on the stage?

you see we are young wolves 

and we’re hungry for the last guy outside

come see us when we’re walking

they don’t know our kind of night

Sick and wear our hearts outside

on our sleeves

and we just can’t take no more 

 

Yet the skies say we should come back home

I remember in disguise we would listen and be shocked

yet motivated by hope

so fly on?

we never knew the truth could cope so long

carry on

just be shocked and motivated by hope

 

“Hands up they only listen when we speak!!”

 

So come one, come all beside me 

don’t grab your guns but be aware 

simple buy but a believer 

just listen to what the wiseman say

through action we’ll come out fine 

so just listen to

the inside of you, what he seeks

they only listen when we speak
