Count Me Out Lyrics

Do you really deny that this evil exists

Or do you do it because you deny our right to exist?

You say never again like history never repeats itself

While we stand here time and time again

Learning who our friends are and who wants us wiped off the face of the earth

Stand on the right side of history this time around

Because as we've seen

Good always defeats evil in the end

How can you aim hate like a shotgun

Then call for change like we've got none?

How can you say 'problems' like you're not one?

Have your weapons out, we will not run

If we write the books but never read them

When we hold the signs but never see them

Can we see past rhymes to see the reasons?

Cause you know the truth but don't believe it

You say I sound so distant

You never learn to listen

Why can't you hear me screaming out?

You say I sound so quiet

Can't you see that I'm bleeding out?

If shouting out is silence

Then you can count me out

Woah

Woah

If shouting is silence then you can just count me out

Woah

Woah

If shouting is silence then you can just count me out

Tell me drop the gun, then you point it

Ya, we all preach fight but avoid it

How can you act all disappointed

When you do all this pointing?

If we write the books but never read them

When we hold the signs but never see them

Can we see past rhymes to see the reasons?

Cause you know the truth but don't believe it

You say I sound so distant

You never learn to listen

Why can't you hear me screaming out?

You say I sound so quiet

Can't you see that I'm bleeding out?

If shouting out is silence

Then you can count me out

Woah

Woah

If shouting is silence then you can just count me out

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Head underwater, drowned out, and the sound is gone

People watching and waiting in sellout crowds

Raising us up just to watch them all tear us down

Don't tell me I sound quiet

When you just stand in silence

I know you hear me screaming out

If you wanted me dead

Say it straight to my face

If you tear down a sign

Then admit that it's hate

But don't tell me it's peace

And expect me to cease

To exist

To persist

We won't drown in no rivers or seas

You say I sound so distant (Don't we bleed the same?)

Well maybe you don't listen (Can't we feel some pain?)

Why won't you hear me screaming out? (Where's the empathy

When you're sending me

Into the arms of the enemy?)

You say I sound so quiet (When the worlds in flames )

Can't you see that I'm bleeding out? (And it's on your name)

If shouting out is silence (I'll be gone to blame)

Then you can count me out (So don't help me now

Everyone count me out)

Woah

Woah

If shouting is silence then you can just count me out

Woah

Woah

If shouting is silence then you can just count me out

How can you use God's name

To take aim

And spread blood

Like it's love

Say "free us now"

While I walk around

In fear of someone else

Shouting out

And throwing arms

When my guard is down

Guess I'll never prove my innocence

If you're never even listening

This isn't a game

You're not choosing a side

Or rooting for the underdog

This is one sided hate

And we won't cease fire to allow ourselves to become swallowed by it

Because we value life

Because we won't be silenced

Am Yisroel Chai!
