Lyrics for Speak

They've given me a mission I don't really know the game yet I'm bent on submission Religion is to blame I'm the new messiah Death Angel with a gun Dangerous in my silence Deadly to my cause Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word The word is all of us I've given my life to become what I am To preach the new beginning To make you understand To reach some point of order Utopia in mind, you've got to learn To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the word The word is all of us Seven years of power The corporation claw The rich control the government, the media the law To make some kind of difference Then everyone must know Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow The system we learn says we're equal under law But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down Speak to me the pain you feel Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the Word The word is all of us SPEAK!
