You Don't Speak For Me Judy Small You who scribble on walls with your miniscule minds You who make midnight calls, you who rattle my blinds The violence you preach is the core of your creed You don't speak for me You call yourselves patriots, swastika-style You feed on the fear of the ignorant child There's no love of nation or people or land In the hatred behind your smile You don't speak for me, no you don't speak for me I've seen where you come from, I've seen where you lead It's a poisonous fruit that grows from your seed You stir up the hatred till something explodes You don't speak for me You who slaughter free creatures and then call it sport You proudly display the corpses you've shot You talk about freedom and rights and control You don't speak for me You who poison the airwaves with Ghengis Khan views You broadcast your bias and call it the news You say that you speak for the millions out there And deny that you're lighting a dangerous fuse You don't speak for me, no you don't speak for me You don't speak for me, you don't speak for my friends We've followed that line, we've seen where it ends Intolerance, hatred, division and strife You don't speak for me You who march in your hundreds of thousands for peace You who work for political prisoners' release You who fight the injustice of women ignored You speak for me You who combat apartheid wherever it's seen You who struggle to keep the unique forests green You who fight for the rights of all people in chains You speak for me, you speak for me, you speak for me |

I suppose they have a homepage by now, and the record may be available on CD, so try googling them. Best of luck with locating the song you want. Bente |

You call yourselves patriots swastika-style You feed on the fear of the ignorant child There's no love of nations or people or land In the hatred behind your smile You don't speak for me No, you don't speak for me. I've seen where you come from I've seen where you lead It's a poisonous fruit that grows from your seed You stir up the hatred till something explodes Well you don't speak for me. You who slaughter free creatures and then call it sport You proudly display the corpses you've shot You talk about freedom and rights and control But you don't speak for me. You who poison the airwaves with Genghis Khan views You broadcast your bias and call it the news You say that you speak for the millions out there And deny that you're lighting a dangerous fuse Well, you don't speak for me. No, you don't speak for me. You don't speak for me, you don't speak for my friends We've followed that line, we've seen where it ends Intolerance, hatred, division and strife You don't speak for me. You who march in your hundreds and thousands for peace You who work for political prisoners' release You fight the injustice of women ignored You speak for me. You who combat apartheid wherever it's seen You who struggle to keep the unique forests green You who fight for the rights of all people in chains You speak for me, Yes, you speak for me, You speak for me. |
