Div ye lang fer peace an quiet In iss modern warld o oors Fin noise is aa aroon us The silence it fair soors . Ye gyang intae a shoppie Winrin jist fit tae buy Yer lugs are seen bombardit Bi Rihanna or yon McFly . Ye meet a freen fer a chat In some funcy coffee hoose Ye fin yersel suroondit Bi mobile users on the loose . Waak doon the main street In ony o oor gweed toons Music blarin oot the windaes O cars driven bi bliddy goons |
Pubs turn up the music din So fowk canna hae a newse The purpose is a think Tae mak fowk buy mair booze . Peace an quiet ye can fin If in the hills ye waak Ye marvel at the silence An nae hae yakkity yak . A wis brocht up on a fairm Twa mile fae the main road Peace and quiet wis aa aroon As aboot the parks a strode . So maybe a wis lucky Tae ken fit quairtness wis Unlike fowk in toon cinters Faa can only fume an fizz |
