White Noise

I lay awake in bed, don’t know how I got here

There’s a knocking on the door - 1-2-3-4

It’s quite a bloody mess in here and no one feels responsible

The fragmentation of our selves, nah, don’t be so sensible

You know they build on sand but they call it an empire

So much for cleaning up now, the middle class is fading

Those friends in higher places are deceptive clowns parading

The cocaine cowboys and the wall street vampires

White noise, white noise

Come and lull me into my sleep

White noise, beautiful white noise

Who distributes the migrants, who talks about the crisis

New faces to the cabinet, let’s see how thick the ice is

Testing distant waters, quietly behind the scenes

My arm is growing tired, of waving the white flag

And now there’s nothing left to light, just filters of old fags

The prime minister’s driving in a long black limousine

White noise, white noise

Come and lull me into my sleep

White noise, beautiful white noise

Tonight I don’t care if I'm a creep

White noise, white noise

Is the quiet before the storm

White noise, beautiful white noise

And the world goes - tweet tweet, tweet tweet

Tweet tweet, tweet tweet, yeah

And the birds go - tweet tweet, tweet tweet

Tweet tweet, tweet tweet, yeah

In a room without a roof - I'm staring at the ceiling

In times like these they don't care about how we’re feeling

White noise, white noise

Come and lull me into my sleep

White noise, beautiful white noise

Tonight I don’t care if I'm a creep

White noise, white noise

Is the quiet before the storm

White noise, beautiful white noise

There’s no one left to talk to, and no one wants to listen

How can we right a wrong when all they do is reminiscing

Free speech echoes, echoes from the wall

I lean back in my camp chair, waiting until they fall
