[Verse]
F
I hear my father shouting at my mother
Bb
In the room next door
Bb
He's always threatening to pack his bags
C
'Cause he can't take it anymore
F
And my brother's anorexic
Bb
But no one seems to care about the state he's in
Bb
And my sister's in a club, she's a barmaid in a pub
C
And my mother's full of gin
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb Dm
Can you hear can you hear

Can you hear can
This angry silence?

I spend the days on my own

Writing silly poetry

Writing poems for the girl I love
C
But she doesn't love me
F
And I'm scared to go out at night
Bb
It's not safe on the street
Bb
And it's hard to disagree in today's society
C
You can't trust anyone you meet
