We're born into silence And let it all be Lift your anchor And just float astray Born into silence And let it all be Fortune in silence Watch it explode While fragments of irony's examples fly And hit the shore And tyranny's torn From the podiums where leaders stand But rule no more Plead with nothing Why don't we lecture about something Protest the way We're passive today Watch it explode While it's not impossible for flowers to bloom and grow Next to graves And babies are born In the same buildings where people go To pass away Pass away Plead with nothing Why don't we lecture about something Protest the way We're passive today We live like penguins in the desert Why can't we live like tribes Born into silence And let it all be Lift your anchor And just float astray Born into silence And let it all be Fortune in silence
