Cry of the Silent is a raw and heartfelt song by Johnny Cash, shedding light on the anti-establishment sentiments and questioning the government's manipulative ways. The song speaks against the exploitation of men by the forces of warfare and the hypocrisy of societal norms.
Women and the children stay at home,
Government tells the men to go
Fight wars
And die
Get their Money's worth
Don't cry.
Love your neighbor, That's what they say
But forget to love when their neighbor don't pray
Oh lord
Just why
Don't you think
Just lie

Women and the children stay at home,
Government tells the men to go
Fight wars
And die
Get their Money's worth
Don't cry.
[Verse 2]
Love your neighbor,That's what they say
But forget to love when their neighbor don't pray
Oh lord
Just why
Don't you think
Just lie
