They Try To Silence Me
They try to silence me. By Anthony Grider 1/26/2017
They call me names.,
They say I shouldn't post this or that.,
They play their games.,
They call the lies fact.
Then they twist the facts into lies.,
They try to silence me.,
You can follow the stings and see the ties.,
I'm going to keep posting against the wrongs I see.
O They try to silence me.,
They don't want me to post this or that.,
They don't want me to be free.,
Want me to believe their lies are fact.
But I'm going to post against the wrongs I see.,
O Their not going to silence me.
Never going to silence me.
They want to build more pipelines, even after spill after spill.,
But we will protect our water and land and draw our lines.,
How much more do they want to kill.
They say we should be silent and not protest what's going on.,
But we have to before the world is gone.,
When they see our numbers then they know were strong.
I must post against the wrongs I see.,
But they try to silence me.
O They try to silence me.,
They say I shouldn't post this or that.,
But I'm going to post against the wrongs I see.,
I know their lies and won't believe there fact.
O They call me names.,
Trying to silence me.,
They play their games.,
But they won't stop me from being free.
O They try to silence me.,
But I'm going to post against the wrongs I see.,
No they won't silence me.,
I will be free.,
No they can't silence me.
Homeless people in the streets.,
Still children going hungry.,
How can we as a nation stand for this.,
O Can't believe the suffering I see.,
Who are we if we can't help those in need.,
Stand there in silence while others hurt.,
Hungry stomachs that we can not feed.,
Lessons I thought we've already learnt.
Yeah I'm going to post against the wrongs I see.,
No matter what they're not going to silence me.
O They try to silence me.,
Saying I shouldn't protest this or that.,
But I'm going to post against the wrongs I see.,
Trying to feed me their lies as fact.
O They try to silence me.,
They call me names.,
I'm not going to stop being free.,
O I'm not going to play their games.
O They try to silence me.,
But I won't stop posting against the wrongs I see.,
O They try to silence me.,
They can't stop me from being free.,
Never going to let them silence me.
O No never going to let them silence me.
