Silence Sells Out

(hmmm) You stand beneath the bright spotlight

And paint the world in black and white

Convenient outrage on the stage

But you skip the very first page

Where was your voice on October seven?

When families cried out to heaven

You chose a side for the applause

To sell out for a trendy cause

(where were you then?)

Two hundred lives dragged in the dark

But that didn't leave a single mark

On your curated point of view

When justice only applies to a few

Where was your voice on October seven?

When families cried out to heaven

You chose a side for the applause

To sell out for a trendy cause

(oh, where were you?)

History doesn't start in the middle

While you play your political fiddle A selective heart,

a hollow cry Ignoring how the embers fly

Convenient outrage on the stage

You skipped the first page (yeah)
