I hate to say it but I hear children crying I cant hear nothing but there are people dying I must say something so I keep on trying To break this wall of silence Man on the news used to say we was insecure But he cant tell those lies no more We kill ourselves daily Just cant keep score My way is paved with corpses I was told therell never be a world war three Whats all this terror coming down round poor me Gun in every pocket Gun in every street Cant beat the wall of silence Like powder and steel can make you feel free You wake up and find its just a bad dream Like coke up the nose And you must face reality If these walls could speak I wonder what theyd say Would they whisper a curse Or recite a phrase They promise you love But brother you aint going nowhere Inside the wall of silence They promise you the earth But buddy you aint going nowhere Inside the wall of silence Inside the wall of silence Dont say a word Youve got to cover these walls Bring down the wall Fly over the wall Tear it down
