lyrics

The Quiet Room

Wisdom comes with movement, comes with motion, let's be clear
It does not come from silence, from compliance nor from fear.
You should forget your state religion and the obedience you revere.
What did we overhear?

A Beach at Tamarama where the grommets surf and squeal
with delight in the Pacific ‘cos it’s so restless and serene.
But who does this silence benefit? To whom would it appeal? What can we feel?

We take then to the Quiet Room, where stillness defines peace.
There’s no more singing, no more surfing , and we will tell you what to read
The Quiet Room is waiting. Make yourself useful,
make you weep, and no one can speak

It’s quiet now ‘neath my furrowed brow, hold the steering wheel,
but the cyclone blows inside my toes and I pray for sleep

And the whitewash is my home
I wonder where my vision is, I wonder where’s my soul
and the whitewash is my home
I wonder where my vision is, I wonder where’s my soul
and the whitewash is my home.

It’s quiet now ‘neath my furrowed brow, hold the steering wheel,
but the cyclone blows inside my toes and I pray for sleep

Wisdom comes with movement, comes with motion, let’s be clear
It does not come from silence, from compliance nor from fear.
And who does this silence benefit? And to whom does it appeal? What can we feel?
Forget your state religion and the obedience you revere.
What can we hear?

We take them to the Quiet Room
