Subhumans - Shut Your Eyes lyrics

Quiet days and sunny streets, the city drowsing in the heat All the good folk moderately minding their own selves They’ve got their channels filled, they keep their voices stilled Nodding their bobbleheads to someone else’s words A thousand network feeds, filling every need Crimes are always taking place, no need to speak Silence is violence Swallow hard and hold your tongue Evil purpose will be done in silencе Your silence, your silencе is killing as I speak Smoke drifting in the air, peace back here, war out there Outside a boiling world that we don’t want to see A mercenary corps fights our corporate war The boots of mastery in someone else’s face The experts all agree on what we shouldn’t see Don’t look at the bloody mess that’s under the debris Silence is violence Shut your eyes, hold your nose That’s the way it always goes, in silence Your silence, your silence is killing as I speak Shut your eyes, shut your eyes, shut your eyes No borders anymore, this war comes right back to your door Building inequality one paycheque at a time The sick, the meek and the old, survive on scraps they’re thrown And the neo-nothings always claim that you agree Do or don’t you see, can’t riot in your sleep Quiet’s not the road that leads to any kind of peace Silence is violence It’s long past time you spoke your piece Surrender’s not a strategy, in silence In silence, your silence, you’re killing as I speak Don’t shut your eyes, don’t shut your eyes, don’t shut your eyes
