Sound of Silence

Hello hello you Billy boys
It's time we knew you by your noise
Raise your voices so we can hear you
Belt out an anthem for the lads in blue
For the players love, to hear you sing out loud
It makes them proud
They hate the sound of Silence!!

So don't just sit there on yer hands
It's time to act like Rangers fans
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
Can no one dare
Disturb the sound of Silence?

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my words that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
