THE HUM © 2012 Ricardo & Weinstock
In the distance, sixty cycles — on and on all night long
The chanting of the modern world — monotone and song
No need to wonder why we're all so well entrained
Under these soft attacks we all feel estranged
It interrupts our dinner and divides the peace
It’s in the walls and at the beach
It's following me everywhere - it's hard to get away
How do I stop my ears from ringing…
When the world just sounds that way?
Silence sends a message only the silent can hear
It lives between the wind and rain and whispers in your ear
I wish we were more afraid of the price that we are paying
Though we may never agree I know that’s what we’re praying
It interrupts our dinner and divides the peace
It’s in the walls and at the beach
It's following me everywhere - it's hard to get away
How do I stop my ears from ringing
When the world just sounds that way?
