lyrics

It’s hard enough as it is
To get my feelings across when I’m unrestricted
Now with these new laws I could be incarcerated

I am silenced
Can’t express myself with B - D - F# - A# - C#

We have silenced the dissenters
Those who endorse ugly chords
Are out of the way
The dissonance has been outlawed
Perfect harmony/antiphony composed to realign the citizen banter
A zero tolerance policy
Is now in place across the land
This sound should never hit your ears again
This is just a public demonstration

Now I’m on the run
I’ve made the choice to stand alone
A fugitive in my own home land
Just for speaking my mind
But I know somewhere out there
More voices long to cry out

We can mount a resistance
Time to demonstrate in protest of our censorship

People beware
There’s a terrorist movement coming
Cover your ears
Follow my lead, we’ll persevere
I’m the one in charge
I am making the world a better place
You can’t deny

So now I’ll stop the terrorists in their tracks
End their sick aural attack
And rid the world of B minor Major 9

Rebels move along
Call the protest off
Sing our perfect song
There’s no need lives be lost
Before you start a riot
Have you considered the cost?
You are waging a war you cannot afford
You're liberty slipping away from you

Listen to our screaming voices
Hear the truth as we are drug away
They have refused to reform
We have been violated
Wake up! They control us all
They force us to obey
And once they’re through with us
They’re coming for you too

The moment’s finally here
We’ve poured our hearts out hoping, longing
To transform this world we live in
Is anyone even listening?

I cannot stay silent
I won’t give in
Must express myself
With strong clarity
Even when the world
Remains in static
