Am I not loud enough

Should I shout from a rooftop

I don’t mean to interrupt

No one seems to hear a word I say

 

How do I get your attention

Make all the other noise shut up

No, forget the things I mention

No one seems to hear a word I say

 

If I grab you by your shoulders

And yelled in your ear

If I dressed a little bolder

Do you think that you would hear

 

If I screamed above the noise

Turned my lungs inside out

Then would you hear my voice

Can you hear me now

 

If I began a revolution

Changed the world and flipped its top

Burned down all your constitutions

Blow everything you know away

 

If I grab you by your shoulders

And yelled in your ear

If I dressed a little bolder

Do you think that you would hear

 

If I screamed above the noise

Turned my lungs inside out

Then would you hear my voice

Can you hear me now

 

If I banged on your bedroom door

In nothing but my naked skin

Forced on you all my words

Then would you let them in

 

If I took away your choice

Had you all chained up and bound

Would you hear my voice

Can you hear me now

 

Can you hear me now

 

Can you hear me now

 

Can you hear me now

 

I can’t raise my voice any more than this

I’m sorry for breaking your ignorant bliss

 

Can you hear me now

 

Can you hear me now

 

I could put a gun against your head

Make you turn around

I’d rather sing instead

Can you hear me now

 

If I said I’d go no longer

If I refused and disappeared

If I suddenly turned colder

Then would you hear

 

If I screamed above the noise

Screamed that I don’t want to hang about

Can you hear my voice

Can you hear me now

 

If I banged on your bedroom door

In nothing but my naked skin

Lay sprawled across your floor

If I said this was the end

 

If I took away your choice

Can you learn to keep your head down

Can you hear my voice

Can you hear me now

 

Can you hear me now

 

I can’t raise my voice any more than this

 

Can you hear me now
