Quiet Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boys, now the times are changing, the going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?
Boys, will you ever find the time?
[Chorus]
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same beware
Here comes the quiet life again
[Verse 2]

Oh, the quiet life
Oh, the quiet life
[Chorus]
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same beware
Here comes the quiet life again
