Shout
DEC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody likes to see the freaks explode
They always know better than you
But they never really know what to do
The situations like a loaded gun
If you don't wise up you could be the one
Nobody really likes your ways, but hey
You talk and talk, their minds made up
You beg and pray, the only way they're
Gonna listen today is
Shout, come on let it out
Shout, come on let it out
Shout, come on let it out
Shout, come on let it out
Still laughing, don't know why, if you
Look outside it'll make you cry
I still think this is one big joke
But there's kids on the street and there getting
Smoked
The news brings you down, hey what can I say
Go and turn it off but there's no getting away
Never paid attention to the man at stake
You better pay attention now
'Cause it's to late

The news is making people depressed and the listener is encouraged to turn it off; however, ignoring the problem is not a solution.
