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, 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 |
