Silence Is Deafening Songtext
von Napalm Death

Rant long and loud

Repeat ′til you're blue in the face
Ever get the feeling you′re always on a losing streak?
Their silence is deafening

From the havens of thieves and kings
Empower those who serve to deflect suspicious minds

Action and answers as likely as a reversal of time
Their silence is deafening


From the retreats of tamed apologists
Their disdain is crippling
For those whose crises they have fixed
I am your "untermensch" - a trace of filth to be scraped off

A trace of filth to be scraped off
Yet when it's you who's in their debt

The strong-arm brings you to your knees
So much for "progressive authority"
A trace of filth to be scraped off
Power for the powerless - well, where?
Screaming at the wall to make more sense...
... I melt back into indifference
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
