Blue crayons look green
As I begin to sing
I'm hurting my back
This is what happens when I try to relax

As I begin to sing
People cover their ears
This is what happens when I try to relax
This is what happens when I'm selfish

People cover their ears
To avoid being told what to do
This is what happens when I'm selfish
Everything is taken away

To avoid being told what to do
Wars are started
Everything is taken away
When actions speak louder than words

Wars are started
Without we the people being consulted with
When actions speak louder than words
And this war speaks louder than anything I've ever heard

Without we the people being consulted with
We live in a state of unknowing
And this war speaks louder than anything I've ever heard
Louder than my house when I was growing up

We live in a state of unknowing
Our dad could blow up at any time
Louder than my house when I was growing up
My ears still ring with his angry screaming

Our dad could blow up at any time
Little things can be a big deal
My ears still ring with his angry screaming
And my mother's silence, louder even than his yell

Little things can be a big deal
If they are looked at that way
And my mother's silence, louder even than his yell
Pain courses through the blood stream

If they are looked at that way
Some people will get depressed
Pain courses through the blood stream
Our society does not accept them

Some people will get depressed
Death is like a magnet
Our society does not accept them
It accepts no one that is different

Death is like a magnet
To the poor and homeless
We accept no one that is different
They don't have anything

To the poor and homeless
We must look greedy
They don't have anything
We take it all away

We must be greedy
To get by in this world today
We take everything away
By our pushing, shoving, hurting, mangling

To get by in this world today
We need leaders that honestly care
They won't take it all away
Everything we have worked for to get where we are
