Song lyrics

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said,
As I drown in my regrets,
I can't take back the words I never said.

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit,
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets,
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11, building 7, did they really pull it?
Uh, and a bunch of other cover-ups,
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts,
If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut,
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up.
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust,
You get it, then they move it, so you never keepin' up enough,
If you turn on TV, all you see's a bunch of "what the fucks",
Dude is datin' so and so, blabberin' 'bout such and such,
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homey, that's the news,
And these the same people supposedly tellin' us the truth.
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist,
Gaza strip was gettin' bombed, Obama didn't say shit,
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either,
I'm a part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful,
And I believe in the people, yeah!

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said,
As I drown in my regrets,
I can't take back the words I never said.

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Now we can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it,
But if we know better, then we probably deserve it.
Jihad is not holy war, where's that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam, and you are not observant,
And you are not a Muslim.
Israel don't take my side, ‘cause look how far you've pushed them,
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the kush went,
Complain about the liquor store, but what you drinkin' liquor for?
Complain about the gloom, but when'd you pick a broom up?
Just listenin' to Pac ain't gon' make it stop,
A rebel in your thoughts ain't gon' make it halt,
If you don't become an actor, you'll never be a factor,
Pills with million side effects, take 'em when the pain's felt,
Wash them down with diet soda, killin' off your brain cells,
Crooked banks around the world would gladly give a loan today,
So if you ever miss a payment, they can take your home away.

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said,
As I drown in my regrets,
I can't take back the words I never said.

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence,
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it.
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth,
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even tellin' you,
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to.
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you,
Consider this your bailin' out, so take a breath, inhale a few,
My screams is finally gettin' free, my thoughts is finally yellin' through.

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said,
As I drown in my regrets,
I can't take back the words I never said.
