AUDIOCRACY: Dare To Sing
from the album Revolution's Son
Say it now say it now say it now say it now
Say the words just like you've always heard them
Say the words and you think you understand
A simple rhythm, just like an incantation
You move your lips along because you think its just a
song to sing when you're here with me
Hear it now, like at first, like you don't know how it ends
Listen closely to the way it makes you feel
Are these words that you've heard, meanings that you can defend
Have you ever really listened when you
Dare to sing when you're here with me?
Listen
Do you know
What is left
Behind the words
Here, unspoken?
Lean in to the motion
There's no other way to go
Say the words just like you've always heard them
Say the words and you think you understand
A simple rhythm, just like an incantation
You move your lips along because you think its just a song
Think its just a song
Hear it now
Like a story with an ending you can write
if you turn the ink to blood
All these words you pretend
Meanings that I can't forgive
Have you ever really listened when you dare to sing?
When you dare to sing?
When you dare to love me?
Revolution was my life.
Revolution was my death.
Revolution made of love.
Revolution... leave me alone. Leave me alone now.
Why bother to keep pretending?
All around us more and more is ending.
I don't want to be the last Adam
less you will be my only Eve.
Don't leave. Don't you leave.
Will you be my revolution? My private revolution.
Please. Please. Will you be my Eve?
Won't you be my Eve and dare are to sing?
Dare to sing?
Dare to sing...
