Count Me Out

Do you really deny that this evil exists Or do you do it because you deny our right to exist? You say never again like history never repeats itself While we stand here time and time again Learning who our friends are and who wants us wiped off the face of the earth Stand on the right side of history this time around Because as we've seen Good always defeats evil in the end How can you aim hate like a shotgun Then call for change like we've got none? How can you say 'problems' like you're not one? Have your weapons out, we will not run If we write the books but never read them When we hold the signs but never see them Can we see past rhymes to see the reasons? Cause you know the truth but don't believe it You say I sound so distant You never learn to listen Why can't you hear me screaming out? You say I sound so quiet Can't you see that I'm bleeding out? If shouting out is silence Then you can count me out Woah Woah If shouting is silence then you can just count me out Woah Woah If shouting is silence then you can just count me out Tell me drop the gun, then you point it Ya, we all preach fight but avoid it How can you act all disappointed When you do all this pointing? If we write the books but never read them When we hold the signs but never see them Can we see past rhymes to see the reasons? Cause you know the truth but don't believe it You say I sound so distant You never learn to listen Why can't you hear me screaming out? You say I sound so quiet Can't you see that I'm bleeding out? If shouting out is silence Then you can count me out Woah Woah If shouting is silence then you can just count me out Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one Head underwater, drowned out, and the sound is gone People watching and waiting in sellout crowds Raising us up just to watch them all tear us down Don't tell me I sound quiet When you just stand in silence I know you hear me screaming out If you wanted me dead Say it straight to my face If you tear down a sign Then admit that it's hate But don't tell me it's peace And expect me to cease To exist To persist We won't drown in no rivers or seas You say I sound so distant (Don't we bleed the same?) Well maybe you don't listen (Can't we feel some pain?) Why won't you hear me screaming out? (Where's the empathy When you're sending me Into the arms of the enemy?) You say I sound so quiet (When the worlds in flames ) Can't you see that I'm bleeding out? (And it's on your name) If shouting out is silence (I'll be gone to blame) Then you can count me out (So don't help me now Everyone count me out) Woah Woah If shouting is silence then you can just count me out Woah Woah If shouting is silence then you can just count me out How can you use God's name To take aim And spread blood Like it's love Say "free us now" While I walk around In fear of someone else Shouting out And throwing arms When my guard is down Guess I'll never prove my innocence If you're never even listening This isn't a game You're not choosing a side Or rooting for the underdog This is one sided hate And we won't cease fire to allow ourselves to become swallowed by it Because we value life Because we won't be silenced Am Yisroel Chai!
