lyrics

I know names
I am the whistleblower
The silence is over
The silence is over now

There’s no way
Back to the way that it was
The rabbit is out of
The rabbit is out of the hat

So blow that whistle loud
Blow that whistle clear and blow it now
So don’t let me down
Hide my face and and get me out of town

We fear change
It’s not what we were built for
The balance is out of
The balance is out of whack

There’s no doubt
I was put here for one thing
The silence is over
The silence is over now

So blow that whistle loud
Blow that whistle clear and blow it now
So don’t let me down
Hide my face and and get me out of town

I know names
I am the whistleblower
The silence is over
The silence is over now

So blow that whistle loud
Blow that whistle clear and blow it now
So don’t let me down
Hide my face and and get me out of town
