Lyrics Silence Trumps Lies - Sloan

Silence Trumps Lies

Matters at hand need to be addressed
But you and I need to take a rest to
Leave the lines open for the ones
With information and not for father-sons
You couldn’t listen to someone else
You thought yourself, but
As you spoke, did it not occur
There could be someone to whom you could defer?
Where it’s important in your non-familiar eyes
Silence trumps lies
Oh, quiet is something to keep and be
Oh, would it kill you to wait and see?
Oh, it’s hard to hear any expertise
Oh, our guarantees
Where there is proof and yet the loudest voice denies
Silence trumps lies
Nothing was known but so much was said
Once again in over your head, but
Words still came fast and furious
You’ve never been accused of being curious
Put your pride and vanity
Tomorrow could be way worse than today
So stop saying the things you can’t unsay
Just count to ten, don’t be too quick to criticize
Where do you stand when you say
Are you pays to advertise
silence trumps lies
