What a noisy the place the city's become
the pounding of the concrete to the beat of my drum
quiet down, everybody quiet down, quiet down come on
What a noisy place the city's become
the buzzing of machinery has all just begun
so quiet down, everybody quiet down, quiet down come on
What a busy place our world has become

all the trust has been removed so we'll all just buy guns
he puts his finger on the trigger counts 3-2-1
says that'll be that he's all done
What a quiet place the world will be
when the oceans start to rise and we're all under the sea
you and I swimming far beneath, I suppose this is how fate thinks
that things are supposed to be
