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