Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are better things to talk about
Be constructive
There are weapons
We can use
Be constructive with your blues
Even when it's only warnings
Even when you talk the war games
[Chorus]
Why don't you quiet down?
Maybe I want peace and honesty
Why don't you quiet down?
Maybe I want to live in the children's land and you know maybe, maybe I
Why don't you quiet down?
Maybe wander the promise land, want peace in an honest land
Why don't you quiet down?
I want to live in a promised land, and maybe wander the children's land
Quiet down, yeah, and there, there we can be free
[Verse 2]
You don't live in a business world and
You never go out and you never stay
We won our goals in a liberal world
Livin' in times when I can't stand it, babe
[Verse 3]
All over, the baby's cryin'
It'll all be, baby, I can see out of here
All over the planet's dead
All over the planet, so let me out of here
All over the, all over the, all over the
[Chorus]
Quiet down
We are the dollars and cents, and the pounds and pence, and the mark and the yen
And yeah, we're gonna crack your little souls, we're gonna crack your little souls
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
We are the dollars and cents, and the pounds and pence, and the pounds and pence, and yeah
Why don't you quiet down?
We're gonna crack your little souls, crack your little souls
[Outro]
We are the dollars and cents
