Shh Shush Shut up Shut up! Stop it! Will you just Listen Why does everybody talk and nobody listen? I know! I know... You have the right But it seems the only progress is made by the people who Talk and talk and talk and talk They rake in the votes and the likes but they never once thought if it was just... or right "You're a socialist!" "Gays are ruining this country!" "You want to be class president, not with that fat *** - DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES What is supposed to bring us together is tearing us apart Differences need to be celebrated, not feared When is the last time you complemented someone's hair?... Or smiled at them in the hallway?... But no It's only about what you think, what you feel, what you want, what you say What... you... say... That's all you'll care about Until you start to listen
