The Hum Lyrics

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, 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
