Foreign Sounds

Oh, I was made on a coral reef In the time before the bleach And I'm drifting, I'm drifting like a ship out on the sea I'm a wanderer, I'm plankton Another baby clownfish, you see And I hear my home but only sometimes The din of today is getting in my way Oh, what are all these loud, unbearable foreign sounds They were never there before And it now happens more and more And I can't find my way home Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone Might as well be blind So the sound lights my way And I'm hoping one day they'll all go away I'll wait on the bye and bye 'Til these massive husks go by Then I'll go back living my life Avoid those who plant and stay awhile And if that thing should stay We'll just have to move away And if I had ears, I'd cover them forever Create my own silent way And I can't find my way home Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone Might as well be blind 'Cause the sound lights my way And I'm hoping one day they'll all, all go away Go, go away The worst are the ones that come and stay We don't have much time anyway Iron and steel planted feet We'll all wash up on the beach The powers that be Oh, I beseech Thus, I can't find my way home Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone Might as well be blind So the sound lights my way And I'm hoping one day they'll all go away I hope they'll see they're misguided Realize and pack up, pack up and go away
