Silence Is Deafening (03:48)

Napalm Death • The Code Is Red... Long Live the Code

Rant long and loud
Repeat 'til you're blue in the face
Ever get the feeling you're always on a losing streak?

Their silence is deafening
From the havens of thieves and kings

Empower those who serve to deflect suspicious minds
Action and answers as likely as a reversal of time

Their silence is deafening
From the retreats of tamed apologists
Their disdain is crippling
For those whose crises they have fixed

I am your untermensch -a trace of filth to be scraped off
A trace of filth to be scraped off

Yet when it's you who's in their debt
The strong-arm brings you to your knees
So much for progressive authority
A trace of filth to be scraped off

Power for the powerless - well, where?
Screaming at the wall to make more sense...

... I melt back into indifference

The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening
The silence is deafening

Napalm Death • The Code Is Red... Long Live the Code

[Embury, Greenway]

... And so it comes to pass

With a shrug of the shoulders
A washing of the hands

It was war through lies on demand

Work to live to fund their egos
With bombs and shaky claims

Make the cowboy killer's day
Take one life and your's will cease
He'll take thousands (in the) name of "peace"

Selective memory and distorted words
The methods of the untouchable

Struts away and dusts off his gun
To cast more net on his "axis of evil"

Make the cowboy killer's cay
Prays on all your lethargy
Knows you'll turn the other cheek

Napalm Death • The Code Is Red... Long Live the Code

Excuses, excuses
Fabrications, smokescreens

Manacles - no recourse
Fabrications, smokescreens

Lower than the lowest
Lower than the lowest
Lower than the lowest

Maybe, just maybe, this New World Order
Is no concept for "freaks"

Straight, true, and divine
Straight, true, and divine
Straight, true, and divine

Maybe, just maybe, plans to rein us in
Have broken to the surface

Full fronal assault on your choice
(Your) choice to spurn the flag
Waves retribution awating those who dissent

Patriot - yes, it's an act
Fabrications, smokescreens

Speak when spoken to
Speak when spoken to
Speak when spoken to

Maybe, just maybe, you're an obstruction
Blocking their assets

Napalm Death • The Code Is Red... Long Live the Code

[Mitch Harris/Greenway]

A farce - so sincere
A farce - so austere
A farce - hartfelt pleas
A farce - shock and awe to force a retreat

Ten thousand corpses in the wake of his whims
Count many thousands more on the way to obedience

Duty - to uphold
Duty - to make bold
Duty - purity so skewed
Duty - break out the arms, don't spare the rod.

Ten thousand corpses in the wake of his whims
Waves and flashes smiles, with the gall of an unmarked man

Instruments of persuasion
Instruments of persuasion
Instruments of persuasion

Rallying calls to the wilfully blinkered
Hands on the heart and heads in the sand

Instruments of persuasion
Instruments of persuasion

Stand shoulder-to-shoulder and win the bonanza.
A sweetener from death to get back in the good books

Instruments of persuasion
Instruments of persuasion

Napalm Death • The Code Is Red... Long Live the Code

Stinking to the bowels of high heaven
Creeping to the giants of status
Guarding protection of interests - not you

Not you or anything that might be misconstrued (as help)
Marching through the ashes of conquests
Slapping the backs of the empire men
Selling our consent in the process - that's you

That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do
A pledge is a pledge
But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends
The art of double-talk
Adamant on what you really meant

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
For lesser, the poorer
Pluck out their eyes - they offend
"Dumb" animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests

Big noise says jump now
The chasm is never too high or wide
The corporate slow-killer
Punished with a lenient smile

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic freaks that defend
An oversight where human rights fall at the fence of "good trade"

Yes man? Always.
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do the dect thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme

Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do - the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned
Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent.
