[Verse 1]
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
[Verse 2]
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government

[Verse 3]
I'll take a quiet life

And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
Silent
[Verse 4]

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises (Let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (Let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises, please (Let me out of here)
