I wake up in the morning, had a restful night
dreamed of pleasant things, no nightmares were in sight
shuffle to the bathroom on my shaky legs
then go to the kitchen to boil some breakfast eggs
toasted bread is ready, Earl Grey in the pot
honey, ham and butter, coffee’s also hot
wanna hear some music so I turn the radio on
’twas a big mistake, my perfect day was gone!
turn off, turn off, turn off, turn off
turn off the radio, turn off radio
turn off, turn off
turn off the radio – turn off the news
turn off the radio – don’t get the blues!
turn off, turn off, turn off!
I look out the window, what’s the weather like?
no reason to complain, sunshine broke its strike
I overcome frustration and saddle my ol’ bike
a very good decision, as I didn’t wanna hitchhike
pedalling to the green woods, the air smells fresh and pure
bustling birds are tweeting and the deer enrich my tour
when suddenly an air force jet cuts across the sky
its ever-deafening noise sounds nearly like a cry
I flee away in panic back to my peaceful home
the road I need to take looks like an autodrome
cars and trailers, motorbikes, hoverboards and trucks
that mobility just plain and simply sucks!
fifteen building workers, two diggers and a crane
demolition hammers fill Carnation Lane
shovels, picks and drills – construction’s boon and bane
stop that chronic noise or we’ll become insane – we’ll become insane!
turn off, turn off, turn off, turn off
turn off that hellish noise, turn off hellish noise
turn off, turn off
turn off that hellish noise – turn off the noise
turn off that hellish noise – we have the choice!
turn off, turn off, turn off!
