Lyrics:

Hello ACORN, my old friend/ I cannot talk with you again/ Because a vision softly creeping/ Of hidden cameras that went peeping/ from a story the press could not contain/ cannot remain/ Within the sound of silence/

In Martha's Vineyard I walked alone/ 'Til Teddy's funeral I had flown/ And his story I did revamp/ 'Cause He drove his car into the cold and damp/ But his death may yet help my healthcare plight/ And split the right/ And keep the sound of silence/

And in the DC Mall I saw/ Ten thousand people, maybe more/ Racists talking without speaking/ Haters hating without hating/ People writing stories that networks never share/ And no one dared/ Disturb the sound of silence/

"Fools", said I, "You do not know/ Freedom like a cancer grows/ Hear my words that I might teach you/ Another speech just might reach you"/ But my words, like silent raindrops fell/ And echoed/ In the wells of silence/

But the media bowed and prayed/ To the neon god they made/ And the polls flashed out its warning/ In the words that it was forming/ And the sign said, "The seeds of the defeat are marching on the national mall/ And those town halls"/ And proven in the sounds of silence
