New Addicts-Scream It Out Loud

Intro (spoken / building) You say we’re free — Then why the hell am I watching what I say? Verse 1 I got a voice and I’m using it loud You got a problem? Get out of the crowd No sacred cows, no holy ground If it can’t take heat — burn it down You preach control, you preach fear Draw your lines, I cross them here You want respect? Then earn it back Not with threats and not with flags Pre-Chorus You don’t want truth — you want belief You don’t want talk — you want me weak Chorus (shouted) SAY IT — OR SHUT UP BREAK IT — OR GIVE UP YOU DON’T GET POWER OVER WHAT I SAY FEAR IT — OR FIGHT BACK STEP UP — DON’T HIDE THAT IF WORDS ARE DANGEROUS — YOU’RE THE DISEASE Verse 2 (faster, angrier) All your symbols, all your rules Built to manufacture fools Dress it up as “sacred law” Same old violence, different war You want silence, want control Want to police the human soul But I won’t bow, I won’t kneel Your god’s not something I should feel Breakdown (slow, heavy) No fear No gods No masters Say it Say it SAY IT Verse 3 (explosive) Fanatics left and right crys Different Teams — same damn lies Kill for meaning, die for lies History repeats in new disguise You say “respect” — I hear command You want obedience, not a stand If words can kill — then prove it now I’m still standing, screaming loud Final Chorus (double energy) SAY IT — OR SHUT UP TEAR IT — ALL UP NO MORE FEAR OF WHAT’S “ALLOWED” BREAK CHAINS — DON’T FREEZE UP SPEAK TRUTH — DON’T EASE UP I WON’T WHISPER — I’LL SCREAM IT OUT LOUD Outro (chant-style) Free speech — not just when it’s safe Free speech — not just what you like Free speech — means ALL of it Or none of it
