You'll have to scream louder

Yes I know you're unhappy
Yes I know you've been crying
Can't you see by my eyes
That 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
You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder

Children are playing
While we're building weapons
But our toys are better
'Cause our toys are real
And it makes me feel angry
I feel so ashamed

You'll have to scream louder

I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel a hatred
It's growing inside
And there's nowhere to run to
'Cause there's nowhere to hide
You'll have to scream louder

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 feel so helpless
And I feel so ashamed
I don't know what to do for the best
I'll have to scream louder
Yes I'll have to scream louder

If your conscience don't catch you
Then something else will

Count to one hundred
Hope you don't get killed
The war may be over
But the next one's for real
You'll have to scream louder

You'll have to scream louder
And I feel so angry
I feel so ashamed

I've got no respect for
People in power
They make their decisions
From their ivory towers
And I feel so frightened
And I feel so violent

Woman is the Nigger of the World

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be slave ,we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...
Yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...you better screem about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she would be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...
Yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Oh Yeah (think about it)
We insult her everyday on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world...
Yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me,
you better screem about it.
