Awfully Loud World

Lyrics

It's an awfully loud world You can't hear yourself think It can make you join the monastery It can drive you to drink, oh... With the sound of the bullets flyin' And the sound of the children cryin' Yeah, the sound of the man On the TV commercial Selling you what you're buyin' It's an awfully loud world If you make a big noise Well, well, well And if you're marching To a different drum It don't go over big with the boys Oh... It's the sound of the party you revel And the sound of that money metal And the sound of the band On the radio station Singin' "Sympathy for the Devil" Hey, it's an awfully loud world Yeah, yeah Awfully loud world Yeah, yeah, yeah Baby, it's an awfully loud world That's right Baby, it's an awfully loud world Day and night, night and day No wonder you can't get away With the sound of the big wheels turnin' And the sound of a little world squirmin' And the sound of the kiddies At the cartoon altar It's teachin' them what they're learnin' It's an awfully loud world In an awfully small room And it gets so much You can't hear nothing else And not a soul is immune It's an awfully loud world Screamin' louder each day We're cryin', "cut it out, shut it down Someone make it please go away" It's an awfully loud world It's an awfully loud world It's an awfully loud world It's an awfully loud world That's right, loud world That's right, loud world
