To be sung to the tune of "The Sound of Silence"--Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness my old friend
You've come to rob me once again
I hear your footsteps softly creeping
Through my house as I lie sleeping
And the brick you used to smash my window pane
Still remain
swithin the sounds of sirens
(sound effects of alarm sirens)
In restless streets I walked alone
They stole my car I can't get home
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
They grabbed my wallet by the Autobank
When I was stabbed by a gangster net links van die
Telkompaal
It split my skul
lI heard the sounds of sirens
(Sound effects of police sirens)
And in the naked light I saw
Just one konstable not one more
he shouted "Freeze! this is the law speaking!"
They broke his kakebeen without listening
people running loose 'cause they had just been released on bai
lno place in jail
amidst the sounds of sirens
(Sound effects of mixture of sirens)
Why they do it I don't know
Violence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my TV and my radio
But life is a sacred thing my broer
It's given once...
Don't let it echo...(gunshot followed by shriek)
...into silence
And in the naked light I saw
A shadow move across my door
I waited quietly and I klapped him once
It was the outjie from the Armed Response
"Ag, sorry," I said as he fell down on his hea
dMy face was red
Reflected in the sounds of sirens...
