Lyrics

At city lights the poet cried, pity the sheep as their nation dies
Liars as leaders, shepherds mislead, visions on visions of bigots and thieves
Cry out
Take a side, never be quiet, silence feeds the master’s rule
Don’t be careless, don’t be indifferent, be alert for the clownish fool
Cry out

Cry out the pity of voices too quiet, cry out the pity of nations undone
Bullies as heroes Watching their fame grow
Cry out the pity of a single tongue spoken, cry out the pity of most colors broken
Riches are breathing The gutter is seathing
Cry out Cry out

Around the world, as people die, collective judgments that bigots try
Can’t close your eyes, can’t turn your head, remember the frail, remember the dead
Cry out
Don’t step away, be a witness, persecution dies when in the light
Dare to hope, even in the darkness, with a voice so loud, a voice so bright
Cry out Cry out

Cry out the pity of voices too quiet, cry out the pity of nations undone
Bullies as heroes Watching their fame grow
Cry out the pity of a single tongue spoken, cry out the pity of most colors broken
Riches are breathing The gutter is seathing
Cry out Cry out Cry out Cry out

Cry out the pity of voices too quiet, cry out the pity of nations undone
Bullies as heroes Watching their fame grow
Cry out the pity of a single tongue spoken, cry out the pity of most colors broken
Riches are breathing The gutter is seathing
Cry out Cry out Cry out
