Material Girl Madonna
Boys may come
And boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
They can beg
And they can plead
But they can't see the light
'Cause the boy
with the cold hard cash
Is always Mr. Right
'Cause everybody's living
in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living
in a material world
And I am a material girl
The SOUND of SILENCE
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision
that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the Sound of Silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold n damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the Sound of Silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs
that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the Sound of Silence.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach U,
Take my arms that I might reach U."
But my words
like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of Silence...
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
"the words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls."
And whisper'd
in the Sound of Silence.
