The noise never stops
It radiates in our brain
In our ears and lungs
Think, say, do it now
Make your mark it’s not too late ~
And help the ‘Children’
Wipe out poverty
Follow the rules, make your own
Be a friend, be a wife
Create an Empire
But never brag about it
Watch your step, people see you
The noise never stops
Don’t do that, this is the way
That will never work
Bombs, gunfire, glass, blood
That will work, join the Chaos
The noise suffocates
And drowns out the birds
I can’t hear them, did they stop?
Are they singing ~ I can’t hear.
