cat got your tongue

Lyrics

I will speak softly, but
I will not allow you to mock me
I will speak softly, but
do not mock me.

You sit silent while they vent
hateful and violent
You sit silent
while they vent.

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
you are complicit,
so what is it? what is it?
oh, cat got your tongue?
cat got your tongue.

I will speak softly, but
I will not allow you to mock me
I will speak softly, but
do not mock me.

You sit silent while they vent
hateful and violent
You sit silent
while they vent.

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
your guilt is implicit -
so what is it? what is it?
oh, cat got your tongue?
cat got your tongue.

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
you are complicit,
so what is it? what is it?
oh, cat got your tongue?
cat got your tongue.

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
your guilt is implicit -
so what is it? what is it?
oh, cat got your tongue?
cat got your tongue.
cat got your tongue.

I will speak softly, but
I will not allow you to mock me
I will speak softly, but
do not mock me.

You sit silent while they vent
hateful and violent
You sit silent
while they vent.

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
your guilt is implicit -
what is it? what is it?
are you a bigot or are you a coward?

Speak up,
oh speak up, or
you are complicit,
so what is it? what is it?
oh, cat got your tongue?
cat got your tongue.
