Would You

1.
If I spoke of violence
would you listen
if I sang of the broken
would it capture your heart
if I wrote of all the things
we take for granted
and only value when they’re
torn apart

Ch
would you, would you
feel the pain
would you, would you
turn up my sound
or would you, would you
shut me down
and drown me out

2.
If it didn’t happen
in my backyard
if I left the country
spoke up from afar
if I didn’t live there
but still was scarred
would my voice
make a difference

Ch
would you, would you
feel the pain
would you, would you
turn up my sound
or would you, would you
shut me down
and drown me out

Bridge
turn off the airwaves
shut down transmissions
be like the three monkeys
turn off the airwaves
shut down transmissions
hide like the three monkeys
but in the forest
if the trees still fall
and the air gets stale
will that be all...?

3.
If I stopped speaking
would you love me more
would my views be valid
if I moved next door
could I speak outi
or simply shut my mouth
choose uneasy peace
over right and justice

Ch...
would you, would you
feel the pain
would you, would you
turn up my sound
Or would you, would you
shut me down
and drown me out
