Tell It like It Is |
| Say it say it say it Tell it like it is |
| Say it say it say it Tell it like it is |
| What breaks your heart |
| What keeps you awake at night |
| What makes you want to breakdown and cry |
| But say you’ll never turn your back |
| Say you’ll never harden to the world |
| Say you’ll never try to still the rhythms in your breast |
| Say you’ll never look at the evil among us and try to forget |
| Say you’ll tell it like it is |
| Say it say it say it |
| So everyone can hear |
| Say it say it say it tell it like it is |
| What breaks your hear |
| What keeps you awake at night |
| How your anger and grief |
| Make you want to cry out |
| And tell it like it is |
| But say you’ll never close your eyes |
| Or pretend that it’s a rosy world |
| Say you’ll never try to paint |
| What is rotten with a sugarcoat |
| Say you’ll talk about the horrors you’ve seen and the torment you know |
| And tell it like it is |
| Say it say it say it |
| So no one can forget |
| Say it say it say it Tell it like it is |
| What breaks your heart |
| What keeps you awake at night |
| What makes you want to break the ties that silence and bind |
| And tell it like it is |
| Say you’ll never cover your ears and close your mouth |
| And live in a silent world |
| Say you’ll only run as far or as fast as you need to be secure |
| Say that then you’ll tell the truth |
| When a lie could cross your lips |
| And tell it like it is |
| Say it say it say it, Say it say it say it |
| Say it say it say it, Say it say it say it |
| Say it say it say it, Say it say it say it |
| Say it say it say it, Say it say it say it |
