The bells are ringing
|
The song they're singing
|
The sound is bringing the people 'round
|
They hear the instructions
|
They follow directions
|
They travel great distances to the sound
|
|
The bells are ringing
|
The song they're singing
|
The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is)
|
They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round)
|
They follow directions
|
They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound)
|
|
They are persuaded by the music of the bells
|
They're not responsible for anything they do
|
(No) The people know
|
(No) The way to go
|
The bells are ringing, they hear the sound
|
|
They hear the sound (they hear the sound)
|
They hear the sound (they hear the sound)
|
They hear the sound (they hear the sound)
|
They hear the sound
|
|
The bells are ringing
|
And everyone's walking
|
With arms extended in a trance
|
Forgetting their washing
|
Neglecting the children
|
They're dropping all businesses at hand
|
|
A voice is telling them to act a different way
|
They tilt their heads so they won't miss what it will say
|
(No) And when it's so
|
(No) There's this to know
|
The bells are ringing, they hear the sound
|
|
The bells are ringing
|
The song they're singing
|
The sound is bringing the people 'round
|
They hear the instructions
|
They follow directions
|
They travel great distances to the sound
|
|
They are persuaded by the music of the bells
|
They're not responsible for anything they do
|
(No) The people know
|
(No) The way to go
|
The bells are ringing, they hear the sound
|
|
A girl with cotton in her ears
|
Is shielded from the bells' effect
|
As if by hidden signal
|
The people turn to face her
|
One thousand eyes are staring
|
They pull away her earplugs
|
|
The bells are pealing
|
And they're revealing
|
The simple key to happiness
|
It isn't evil
|
It isn't good
|
It's only what the people miss
|
|
The bells explain what they've been lacking all along
|
They were disorganized and that was what was wrong
|
(No) And now they know
|
(No) The way to go
|
The bells are ringing, they hear the sound
|
|
The bells are ringing
|
The song they're singing
|
The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is)
|
They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round)
|
They follow directions
|
They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is)
