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