They say it

When they're in the backrooms (they say it they say it they say it)
On the turnpike (they say it they say it they say it)
In their sunday clothes (they say it they say it they say it)
When the kids are grown (they say it they say it they say it)

But they will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud
They will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud

When they see what they've become (they say it they say it they say it)
As they bite their tongues (they say it they say it they say it)
When they look at their sons (they say it they say it they say it)
As they go under the knife (they say it they say it they say it)
When they can no longer blame the wife
In their minds at all times

But they will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud
They will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud

At the convention (they say it they say it they say it)
When the blinds are closed (they say it they say it they say it)
When they send their young to fight (they say it they say it they say it)
In how they draw the lines (they say it they say it they say it)

But they will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud
They will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud
They will never say it out loud, they will never say it out loud
