WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG BOY
I ALWAYS WAS TOLD
THE WORD IS JUST SILVER
BUT SILENCE IS GOLD
ALL YOU SAY TO SOMEONE ELSE
HE CAN USE AGAINST YOURSELF
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE BIG MOUTHS
SO CHECK YOURSELF

BUT I DON'T NEED YOUR SILENCE
I NEED YOUR VOICE
DON'T STAND HERE LIKE A STATUE
PLEASE MAKE SOME NOISE
SCREAM FOR ME, SHOUT FOR ME
DO IT ON THE COUNT OF THREE
YOU GOTTA BREAK THE SILENCE
AND JUST BE FREE

GIVE IT UP, GIVE IT UP
YOU'D BETTER LOSE YOUR FROWN
GIVE IT UP, GIVE IT UP
YOU BETTER DON'T BRING ME DOWN
MAKE A SOUND, MAKE A SOUND
LET ME KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALIVE
MOVE AROUND, MOVE AROUND
GET ON STAGE AND DO THE DIVE
DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW
NOBODY'S WATCHING YOU
ANYWAY, ANYHOW
NO ONE CAN STOP YOU
GOTTA MAKE UP YOUR MIND
BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
OPEN WIDE, OPEN WIDE
SILENCE IS KILLING ME

GOTTA BREAK THE SILENCE
