[Verse 1]
Em Am Em
I cut my teeth, on the back of an old church pew
Em Am Em
I learned to walk in the ways of light and truth
Am Em C2 D
And I was told not to speak til I was spoken to
Em Am
I heard it preached, what I should
Em
and I should not do And the choir sang
Em G Am Em
Woh oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Em G Am Em
Woh oh oh oh oh oh ohh
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
I tried to be a good boy but I ain't a boy no more
Em Am Em
I've seen some things that a man just can't ignore
Am Em C2 D
And this world's gone see what I am standing for
Em Am D
I've kept my peace, I can't hold my tongue anymore
[Chorus]
Em G
You can't buy my silence, you can't steal my voice
Am Em Bm7
You can't keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Em G
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
Am C2
But there's a time to speak and the time is now
Em G Am Em
Woh oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Em G Am Em
Woh oh oh oh oh oh ohh
[Verse 3]
Em Am Em
The squeaky wheel is always getting greased
Em Am Em
I've been sitting still, Park here on the side of the street
Am Em C2 D
Always tip-toeing trying not to wake the beast
Em D
Oh but here I come, All you monsters had better run from me
[Chorus]
Em G
You can't buy my silence, you can't steal my voice
Am Em Bm7
You can't keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Em G
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
Am C2 D
But there's a time to speak and the time is now
