Don't let the silence get you down   Though you've been sitting here for hours   Hoping a voice could soon be found   That speaks much louder that this music      If you're a little off colour and   Out for the count   Don't let it get you down      Don't let the talking keep you up   If they're your friends they share your vision   And as the phone ring breaks the silence   They figure out that you don't want to answer      If you're a little off colour and   Tired of the sounds   Don't let it get you down      Don't let the people make you think   That just because you're young you're useless   You know it's not naive to think   That you can change the things around   And that no man is an island      For I'd rather be a pebble than   An ocean vast and dry   Alone they make no sounds
