Put down your guns and retreat
I'm feeling left behind on my American street
All the time, if you say it, we can leave
All in time, and get out to see the world
All around and the faces everywhere
follow the sound of the silence that has come.

Put your hands in the air
Surrender the grip of the hate
that's beating all around your heads
All the time, if you say it, we can leave
All in time, and get out to see the world
All around and the faces everywhere
follow the sound of the silence that has come.

I've had a revelation of sorts,
a backwards revolution we are

All in line, if you want it, we can leave
March in time, and get out to see the world
All around and the people everywhere
follow the sound of the silence that has come.
