From the Heart Lyrics
Sorry if our notes are too sharp
Sorry if our voices are too raw
Don't make the pen a weapon
And censor our intelligence
Until our thoughts mean nothing at all
Sorry if you take offense
You made up rules and played pretend
We know you fear change
It's something so strange
But nothing's gonna get in our way
There's no room
For your backwards feelings
And backyard dealings
We're never gonna settle
We're never gonna settle
No, we won't remain silent
Know it's our defining moment
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't be complacent
Know it's a rock n' roll nation
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
Sorry if we try too hard
To take some power back for ours
The language of oppression
Will lose to education
Until the words can't hurt us again
So sorry if you take offense
But silence will not make make amends
The system’s all wrong
And it won't be long
Before the kids are singing our song
There's no room
For your backwards feelings
And backyard dealings
We're never gonna settle
We're never gonna settle
No, we won't remain silent
Know it's our defining moment
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't be complacent
Know it's a rock n' roll nation
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't remain silent
Know it's our defining moment
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't be complacent
Know it's a rock n' roll nation
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't be made silent
Know it's our defining moment
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
No, we won't be complacent
Know it's a rock n' roll nation
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
We sing from the heart
