From the recording Mama Came to Sing
Lyrics
SCREAM TO BE HEARD
Well I’m sick of being pretty and tired of being kind
Wanna get down where it’s gritty and blow your freaky minds
Wanna let you feel my skin and taste what you can’t see
And let you walk again on the darker side of me
I’m tired of waiting my turn, I’m sick of saying please
Wanna feel my spirit burn and knock you to your knees
Wanna shock you wide awake and hear you scream my name
And all my fears forsake as I open up a vein
And sometimes you have to scream to be heard
You gotta jump up and down and stomp on fate
When they ask you for patience just flip’em the bird
Cause nothing good ever comes to those who wait
I’m sick of standing in this long and narrow line
You keep what isn’t yours, make me beg for what is mine
Wanna help you see what’s real, wanna open up your eyes
Empower you with truth and crucify the lies
And sometimes you have to scream to be heard
You gotta jump up and down and stomp on fate
When they ask you for patience just flip’em the bird
Cause nothing good ever comes to those who wait
And sometimes you have to scream to be heard
You gotta jump up and down and stomp on fate
When they ask you for patience just flip’em the bird
Cause nothing good ever comes to those who wait
