You’ll Have to Scream Louder

[Verse 1]
Yes, I know you're unhappy
Yes, I know you've been crying
Can't you see by my eyes
I've been crying, too?
But you'll have to scream louder
Because no one is listening
You can scream, you can shout
Don't expect to be heard

[Chorus]
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder

[Verse 2]
I've got no respect for
These people in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel the hatred
It's growing inside
And there's nowhere to run to
'Cause there's nowhere to hide

[Chorus]
You'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder

[Verse 3]
Can't you see that I'm crying?
Do you think I'm pretending?
Can't you see by my eyes
These tears are real?
And it makes me feel angry
I'm feelin' so helpless
And I feel so ashamed
Don't know what to do for the best

[Chorus]
I'll have to scream louder
Yes, I'll have to scream louder

[Verse 4]
If your conscience don't catch you
Then something else will
Count to one hundred
And hope you don't get killed
The war may be over
But this one's for real

[Chorus]
You'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder
