is there anywhere we can get away from this crowd;

I say stop the talking, the noise, just stop.

I need some time to myself;

for the noise is driving me crazy;

stop the noise, the talking, just stop.

I come home and you scream at me;

I go to work and they yell;

stop the screaming, the yelling, just stop.

I go to sleep and the plane goes by;

the engines roaring loud;

stop the roaring, the loudness, just stop.
