Six

The traffic's roaring The dog is snoring The children are screaming out loud The atmosphere's ringing with crying and singing and noise from the growing crowd Six billion people all in one place Six billion people sharing space All of us raving - a deafening riot All of us craving a moment of quiet an hour of stillness a minute of silence - a chance to escape from this audio violence The consequence is chrystal clear - The more you yell the less I hear The less I hear the more I shout - Nobody knows what we're screaming about Six billion people on one small planet Six billion people - How can you stand it? Blasting the radio - more bad news All of us lonely, afraid and confused All of us shrieking and dancing like clowns Laughing our heads off all over town Crying like babies in hidden places Six billion people with twelve billion faces.
