At the start of the news day
The fires begin
In words and in pictures
But I´m not listening
I´m not taking it in

I´m going to go to the country
Where nothing goes on
Going to bury my head
Where I can´t hear the sound of bombs
Playing along

Me, I´m just playing along
You and I, so many good people
All just playing along

I´m going to go to a bar
Where the jukebox is on
Going to shut out the noise
With a rock ´n´ roll song
Playing along

I´m going to turn up the volume

I´m going to turn up the volume
I´m going to turn up the volume
Till I can´t even think

Tell us a tale of the proud and the free
Sing us a swing time American melody
From Follow The Fleet

Me, I´m just playing along
You and I, a billion people
All just playing along

I´m going to turn up the volume
I´m going to turn up the volume
I´m going to turn up the volume
Till I can´t even think
