Lyrics
Good Noise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell me the truth what are you living for
Tell me why, why are you near
'Cause if you cannot make yourself a good noise
Tell me what you're doing here
Now we all got the hand for the gimme
We all got the mouth for the much obliged
But when it comes down to giving back
We give the eye to the other guy
Oh it seems that so much trouble
Is simply caused by the angry word
Although silence can be a virtue
I say it's a good noise that's preferred
Chorus
Now you've got every right and reason
To be down in the dumps today
Aren't you just adding to the problem
If you've got nothing good to say
Sure there are wars, disease, injustice
Rich men walking on your hands
But tell me how can you ever take a breath of hope
Talking down your fellow man
Chorus
