It's a crime not to speak
Who you talkin' to
It's a crime not to speak
Who you listening to
It's a crime not to talk
When your words sprung a leak
It's a crime not to listen

Words become false
If they're holding you down
Words become forced to leave
Words become crossed
If they're holding you down
Words are not right
It's a crime not to listen
Not a crime not to be heard

It's a crime not to talk
It's a crime not to hear
It's a crime not to listen
If your words disappear
It's a crime not to speak
It's a crime not to hear
It's a crime not to listen

Words become false
If they're holding you down
Words they are forced to leave
Words become crossed
If they're holding you down
Words are not right
It's a crime not to listen
Not a crime not to be heard
