The Joker
Yellow Suspects Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is good enough to say I'm not
Watch so much oppression sitting on your couch
It's time to raise the voice
It has to stop
Breath the air of freedom
Happiness will please you
Your skin won't matter
Only your soul
Last day deaf
Hear the screams of mankind
Last day blind
Open your eyes as I open mine
Is light for the enlightened
And heavy for those in silence
Screaming
Among a deaf society
Walk the streets of racial justice
Eliminate the alleys of the loveless
Shut the doors of hate with your smile
Find a dose of piety
In this joker's society
Black and white together as one
Last day deaf
Hear the screams of mankind
Last day blind
Open your eyes as I open mine
Is light for the enlightened
And heavy for those in silence
Screaming
Among a deaf society
Is light for the enlightened
And heavy for those in silence
Screaming
Among a deaf society
Is light for the enlightened
And heavy for those in silence




Screaming
Among a deaf society
