[Intro]
E E
I lay awake in bed, I don't know how I got here
E N.C.
There's knocking on the door - 1-2-3-4
E (x4)
[Verse 1]
E E
It's quite a bloody mess in here and no one feels responsible
E E
The fragmentation of ourselves, nah, don't be so sensible
F#m A E E
You know they built on sand but they call it an empire
E E
So much for cleaning up now, the middle class is fading
E E
Those friends in higher places are deceptive clowns parading
F#m A E E
The cocaine cowboys and the wall street vampires
[Chorus 1]
C#m
And I say:
A E G#m C#m
White noize, white noize - come and lull me into my sleep
A E E
White noize, beautiful white noize
[Verse 2]
E E
Who distributes the migrants, who talks about the crisis
E E
New faces to the cabinet, let's see how thick the ice is
F#m A E E
Testing distant waters, quietly behind the scenes
E Eaug
My arm is growing tired, of waving the white flag
E Eaug
And now there's nothing left to light, just filters of old fags
F#m A E E
The prime minister's driving in a long black limousine
[Chorus 2]
C#m
And I say:
A E G#m C#m
White noize, white noize - come and lull me into my sleep
A E G#m C#m
White noize, beautiful white noize - tonight I don't care if I'm a creep
A E G#m C#m
White noize, white noize - is the quiet before the storm
A E E
White noize, beautiful white noize
[Bridge]
C#m A E E
And the world goes - tweet tweet, tweet tweet, tweet tweet, tweet tweet, yeah
C#m A E E
And the birds go - tweet, tweet tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet tweet, yeah
F#m A F#m
In a room without a roof - I'm staring at the ceiling
A E E
In times like these they don't care about how we're feeling
[Chorus 3]
C#m
And I say:
A E G#m C#m
White noize, white noize - come and lull me into my sleep
A E G#m C#m
White noize, beautiful white noize - tonight I don't care if I'm a creep
A E G#m C#m
White noize, white noize - comes the morning comes a time to reap
A E E
White noize, beautiful white noize
[Outro]
E (x4)
E Eaug
There's no one left to talk to, and no one wants to listen
E Eaug
How can we right a wrong when all they do is reminiscing
F#m A E E
Free speech echoes, echoes from the wall
F#m A E
I lean back in my camp chair, waiting until they fall
