Lyrics
NOISE
(version of WAR for the US-market, WAR having been declined by the
US-record company for its inconvenient words - in 1976)
A day full of work is done now and I want to rest.
But noise follows me in my room - no silence to get:
Guns going off on the late late T.V.-show,
transistors blare from below, jets chewing air with a scream above me -
There must be something wrong!
Noise, everywhere, everywhere - look around man!
Look how we live in the country and towns;
Well there's not much for us.
Highways and buildings of concrete and steel,
an airport not far away.
Planes wake me up, I can't sleep in the night -
and they find that it's right.
Noise, everywhere, everywhere - look around man!
We must take care that technics can't get hold of us,
'cause if we don't stop we will kill ourselves in a while,
bad smells fill the cities, no green in the towns,
Mother nature gives up with a sigh.
No water to drink and bad air to breathe -
and that will be the end!
Stop! Stop it now! Can't you see it's late! Stop it now!
Silence and peace is all we need....
