Tindersticks - You'll Have to Scream Louder Lyrics

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

You'll have to scream louder
You'll have to scream louder

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

You'll have to scream louder
Yes, 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
That these tears are real
And it makes me feel angry
I'm feeling so helpless
I feel so ashamed
Don't know what to do for the pain

You'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'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
War may be over
But this one's for real
You'll have to scream louder

Yes, you'll have to scream louder
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
I feel so ashamed
Yes, you'll have to scream louder
I feel it surviving
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
