Lyrics
THE QUIET AGES (by DC Cardwell)
The leaves are falling from the trees
And we are climbing to our knees
But the man with the hat doesn't care for all that
Cause he knows what they like and they like what they know
The days are short and the nights are long
And I keep hearing this new song
And they've learned it by heart but it's not on the chart
Cause they know what they like and they like what they know
The quiet ages have begun
They've torn out pages by the ton
The battle rages in the sun
They'll get their wages when it's done
With all the stages set on stun
And girls in cages just for fun
With all the sages on the run
The quiet ages have begun
The quiet ages have begun
The snow is falling on the ground
I hear the notes have all been drowned
The jukebox plays without a sound
And the deafness is profound
But the man with the plan instituted the ban
Cause he knows what he hates and he hates what he can
