Echoes

Step down, show respect, for the folly of man

Some things are better left unsaid

Unrest, barricades, lock your children away

No, don't you dare to take a stand

Hypocrisy cannot be kept in check

With frail words and acts

No, don't you bet on it boys

Until we learn to keep our backs straight and

Laugh at ourselves

Shots in the streets

Show some respect

Shots in the streets

I hear the echoes in my head

This is not a war

This is who we are

I remember what I stand for, it echoes in my head

This is not a war

I am waking up

I hear the echoes in my head

Defy and resist, oppose and rethink

Or in the end we all learn

What goes in a place where silence is king

And guns speak louder than words

Shots in the streets

Show some respect

Shots in the streets

I hear the echoes in my head

This is not a war

This is who we are

I remember what I stand for, it echoes in my head

This is not a war

I am waking up

I hear the echoes in my head

I am waking up

This is not a war

This is who we are

I remember what I stand for, it echoes in my head

It echoes in my head
