The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round They hear the instructions They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound) They are persuaded by the music of the bells They're not responsible for anything they do (No) The people know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound The bells are ringing And everyone's walking With arms extended in a trance Forgetting their washing Neglecting the children They're dropping all businesses at hand A voice is telling them to act a different way They tilt their heads so they won't miss what it will say (No) And when it's so (No) There's this to know The bells are ringing, they hear the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round They hear the instructions They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound They are persuaded by the music of the bells They're not responsible for anything they do (No) The people know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound A girl with cotton in her ears Is shielded from the bells' effect As if by hidden signal The people turn to face her One thousand eyes are staring They pull away her earplugs The bells are pealing And they're revealing The simple key to happiness It isn't evil It isn't good It's only what the people miss The bells explain what they've been lacking all along They were disorganized and that was what was wrong (No) And now they know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound)
