Silence in the Courtyard

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm like a picture in a gallery Watching as you pass me by A multi-layered mystery Painted face, master of disguise Looked on by unseeing eyes Locked inside my silent cries Silence in the courtyard, silence in the street I'll never say anything to anyone I meet Secrecy my currency, ignorance my due I may be silent But I'm talking to you A deck of cards unfairly stacked Have bound me to this rocky track With fear and need upon my back I'll play the card, dance to the tune Grind the stone, and push the broom Please turn around, I'm in this room Silence in the nail bar, silence at the pump Silent at the laundry and your special Friday club Say you didn't know about me, say it can't be true You may not see me But I'm working for you Silence is silver, silence is gold Silence a secret, never to be told About people who live under lash and chains Who don't see the cash or the ill-gotten gains 'Cause it's hard to stand up against violence and vice When it's all supporting paradise Silence in the courtyard, silence in the street I'll never say anything to anyone I meet Secrecy my currency, ignorance my due I may be silent But I'm talking to you
