I was just a child
So easy to fool
Dropped into your system
Force fed all your rules

Suffering, the weak
Stepped on by the strong
Ignored and neglected
Unheard for how long?

Dark entries
In my lyric book
Looking around for
All the things you took
Dignity, self-esteem
Devoted to the lies you feed me

Chorus:
Quiet all these years
Now I'm speaking up
Sick of how you look at me
I just want it to stop
Quiet all this time
Now I'm lashing out
Sick of how you treated me
Silent all these years!!!!

Is this what you want from me
Quiet, obsequious, subservency
Misinformed, unquestioning
Assembly line citizens
Programmed by TV

Punks and skinheads
Goths and ravers
Gangstas, Homies
Whoever you despise

Trenchcoat mafia
Names they're given
Supressed, subverted, CATAGORIZED!!!!

Chorus:
Quiet for so long
Now I'm speaking up
Sick of how you look at me
I just want it to stop
Quiet all this time
Now I'm lashing out
Sick of how you're treating me
Silent all these years!!!
