Lyrics Carole King

Carole King

A Quiet Place to Live

All I want is a quiet place to live

Where I can enjoy the fruits of my labor

Read the paper

And not have to cry out loud

In my mind I can see it crystal clear

Sharing my dreams with the people around me

Now they surround me

And I'm just a part of the crowd

What will become of us

What about the children

What will they do to us next time around

What will the answer be

What will it mean to me

When are they gonna see we're underground

Here underground

And all I want is a quiet place to live

Where I can be free in a world of my making

Instead of taking

What they decided to give

I wouldn't want what they have - no

If I could only find

A quiet place to live
