Go on now, be quiet
Says the mother to her young
No we can't disturb the strangers
Living lives of public solitude
So go on now, be quiet
Says the world to every child
Fit your life into the data
Of computers making puzzle pieces
Look at the world, we're so misguided
Don't make a sound, just let it go
Look at the people, so divided
Their lives worn down
But if we found the courage of heart
If we found the courage to start
We wouldn't be silent
Ghosts on the train
Riding around in circles all alone
Go on now, be quiet
Leave the dispossessed alone
If you meet them in the eyes
They'll beg for dollars of their dignity
So go on now, be quiet
Leave those questions deep inside
There's no time for contemplations
Of the garden bled variety
Look at the world, we're so misguided
Don't make a sound, just let it go
Look at the people, so divided
Their lives worn down
But if we found the courage of heart
If we found the courage to start
We wouldn't be silent
Ghosts on the train
Riding around in circles all alone
Look at the world, we're so misguided
Don't make a sound, just let it go
Look at the people, so divided
Their lives worn down
But if we found the courage of heart
If we found the courage to start
We wouldn't be silent
Ghosts on the train
Riding around in circles all alone
