Seen Not Heard

Unaware of what is real
Form opinions on how you feel
Translate facts into your lies
You should tune in
Before you decide to criticize

Seen ... but not heard

Overlook the truth within
Looking for a knave to discipline
Seeing only harmfulness
Tell me that I should be
Just like all the fuckin' rest

Seen ... but not heard

Damned if I do - Damned if I don't
Feel the grip of oppression
Wrapped around my throat
Faces still just seen
Voices still not heard
The way you judge what
You don't know
Is totally absurd

Erase the things that offend you
Hear not the words of the youth
Look in the mirror and you'll see
We're just what you used to be
And you'll never be again
