So-called reality
right htere on my TV
if tha's how life's supposed to be, well

somebody's lyin'
the camera's on and we can tell
to keep you fame you have to yell

'cause tensions build, and products sell, and
we're all buyin'
I hope we're smarter than this


Chorus
Everybody take a breath

why are all your faces red
we're missin' all the words you said
you don't have to yell


draw your lines and choose your side
'cause many things are worth the fight

but louder doesn't make you right
you don't have to yell, oh



you don't have to yell



I tuned in to hear the news
I don't want your point of view

if that's the best that you can do, then
Something's missing
and experts on whatever side

you plug your ears, you scream you lines
you claim to have an open mind, but
nobody's listenin'

don't you think we're smarter than this?

Chorus 2x


Bridge
If everyone will take the step

back away and count to ten
clear your mind and start again
we won't have to yell
