Silence Trumps Lies - Sloan

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
