Your silence is violence
Your silence means you've chosen sides
with the oppressors and abusers
You say that your silence means
that you're neutral
But the fact of the matter is
You're in bed with the enemy
Your silence costs lives
Your silence tells me that
you're okay when another soul dies
and another, and another, and another
Your silence tells me that
you support the enemy's lies
You say it's not your business
because it doesn't personally affect you
so you just go on living your life
happy and carefree
You say you don't have time
You're just "too busy"
You refuse to speak up
You don't want to risk your reputation
or comfort
so you stay silent
You don't care that the world is on fire
You say you're "too tired"
You buy right into it when the enemy says
that we had it comin'
that we deserved this
They've taken our rights and locked us up
They've beaten and murdered us
Stolen everything we had
You don't see it
but they're comin' for you next
and there won't be anyone left to save you
