Napalm Death - Silence Is Deafening lyrics

Rant long and loud
Repeat 'til you're blue in the face
Ever get the feeling
You're always on a losing streak?

Their silence is deafening
From the havens of thieves and kings

Empower those who serve
To deflect suspicious minds
Action and answers
As likely as a reversal of time

Their silence is deafening
From the retreats of tamed apologists
Their disdain is crippling
For those whose crises they have fixed

I am your untermensch
A trace of filth to be scraped off [x5]

Yet when it's you who's in their debt
The strong-arm brings you to your knees
So much for progressive authority
A trace of filth to be scraped off [x4]

Power for the powerless, well, where?
Screaming at the wall to make more sense

I melt back into indifference

The silence is deafening [x9]
