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 ♪ Violence!
War! ♪ 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 ♪ 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
