World Leaders and Power Seekers

from Things We Should've Said by Abi Moore

lyrics

I love the sound of silence; I love the sound of peace
I love the sound of nothing among these burned out streets

A white flag flying high is my sweet lullaby- do you know what I mean?

I love the sound of music when it’s played to make things right
I love the sound of empty guns when they’ve given up the fight

A white flag in the ground- is there any sweeter sound? Do you know what I mean?

All these telecommunications and we can’t get through to the nations

I hate the sound of blindness when the selfish won’t see facts
I hate the sound of silver knives when they’re thrown into my back
And that awful sound they make when they turn their heads away-
do you know what I mean?

They’ll hate the sound of judgement from the mighty man
They’re gonna have to explain themselves when he takes them in his hand
And how I’ll love the sound when karma comes around- do you know what I mean?

World Leaders and Power Seekers keep our nights so very sleepless

They’ll hate the sound of silence when it’s ringing in their ears
With all that blood upon their hands, they will fear silence like this
And how I’ll love the sound when karma comes around- do you know what I mean?

(World Leaders and Power Seekers)
(World Leaders and Power Seekers) – I think you know what I mean
(World Leaders and Power Seekers)
(World Leaders and Power Seekers)
(Keep our nights so very sleepless)
(World Leaders and Power Seekers) – I think you know what I mean

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM ... more
