Silence Is Bliss Lyrics - Sewing With Nancie (the Reason)

(White/Armstrong) 

I don't understand why anyone would do this. Not only 

kill another, but help them build excuses. More 

police control, more oppression of our rights. A call 

to arms, reason to fight! Power to repress, to kill 

without evidence and supported by the public via mind 

control in the press. Keep your eyes open wide. When 

truth speaks, there's nothing to hide. But inside, we 

believe what papers say. Go on about your day, right 

before our eyes. No matter what they say to us. It's 

going on. World War Three, mass destruction. Take 

care where you stand, take care who you kill. It's 

you who is inciting fear. Just abide. If we keep 

this locked inside, in my country I confide, no way 

that he can hide from us on this crusade. It's been 

played and I don't want to fight. Retract your rage. 

Act your age. No war we wage is worth it. Television 

station reaches more than we can teach. Domestic 

deception. In this 'operation' try to practice what 

you preach. We say this, but we sit still and watch 

it burn right before our eyes. Silence is bliss.
