White Noise Lyrics by Electric President

Not Given Lightly - A Tribute to the Giant Golden Book of New Zealand’s Alternative Music Scene

2009

[Intro]
In the white noise of everything
I heard voices still tryin' to sing
Who were they? What'd they say?
What was lost? Was it worth all the fuss of it?
I don't know, maybe so
We stole the light from there eyes
While it was still just a spark
Oh, and we mined it for what it was worth
Wasn't much, wasn't much
Find another pair of lights
'Cause no machine is ever free
[Verse 1]
You had a fixed bullet proof sort of world view
Now it's bent, it's bent, it's bent
You used to say you know exactly where you're off to
Now you can't, you can't, you can't
[Chorus]
You make your mark in everything
'Cause you don't know where you are
You've been swearin' up and down you knew your way
But now you're back at the start
[Verse 2]
So you shed your former shell for a new one
And find the appropriate dress
Dazzle anyone who listens with those big words
But know that they're meaningless
[Chorus]
You need them all to know your name
'Cause you don't know who you are
You've been swearing up and down you know your way
But now you're back at the start
Don't feel bad, you're like the rest of us
[Bridge]
Time moves on and we realize we're all strangers
Nothing bindin' us now except our habits and scowls
And our off-hand nitpicks, oh
We try to close our books, and put an end to endless chapters
But then wake up the same, bear our teeth and complain
And then do it all again
[Verse 3]
But no, that's not me, not this time
I won't fall into line
I'm gonna cut a different path if it kills me
No, I'm not sold
I won't roll with the punches again
I'd rather take a couple hits than lay back on this one
[Bridge]
Ahh
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ahh
Ooo-o-oo, ooo-o-oo, ooo
[Outro]
We make our mark in everything
'Cause we don't know where we are
We're always swearing up and down we know the way
But wind up back at the start
And in hindsight it's all circular
