Don’t You Speak

I’m walking down the street and I see an old lady, she says
Cut your breast out, girl, cut it out, cut it out right now
Suspicions and illusions of shadows abroad, Machiavelli’s game
Will to live, faith and love got me out of hell

Don’t you speak, don’t you speak
Don’t you say what you gonna say
Don’t you open your mouth, girl, open your mouth
And say the things about you, say

I’m walking down the streets and I meet a little boy, he says
Got no roof, got no bread, got nowhere to go!
I’m walking down the street and I see a poor man on the floor
People walk by and don’t even care if he is dead

Don’t you speak, don’t you speak
Don’t you say what you gonna say
Don’t you open your mouth, girl, open your mouth
And say the things about you, say

Don’t you speak, speak, speak, speak
Don’t you say what you gonna say
Don’t you open your mouth, girl, open your mouth
And say the things about you, say

This body chains me, this body tortures me
It’s a torture chamber, a torture chamber
This body chains me, this body tortures me
It’s a torture chamber, a torture chamber

This body chains me, chains, chains me
This body tortures me, it’s torture chamber
This body chains me, chains, chains me
It’s a torture chamber, a torture chamber

Don’t you speak, don’t you speak
Don’t you say what you gonna say
Don’t you open your mouth, girl, open your mouth
And say the things about you, say

Don’t you speak, speak, speak, speak
Don’t you say what you about to say
Don’t you open your mouth, girl, open your mouth
And say the things about you, say

Don’t you speak, speak, speak, speak
