American Noise Lyrics by Skillet

Rise

2013

[Verse 1: John Cooper]
Angry words and honking cars
Satellites and falling stars
Distant dark blue radios that whisper down my boulevards
Ghosts and chains rattle in the attic
Broken headphones filled with static
Lonely room you’ve got nowhere to run
Three, two
One for all and all for one
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
Times will be bad, times will be good
Things I wish I hadn’t done and some I wish I would
Cutting through the American noise
You’ve got a voice and a song to sing (And a song to sing)
Drink deep in the morning
Drink deep in the morning
See what the day will bring
[Chorus: John Cooper]
La da da da
Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
La da da da
Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Slamming doors and cell phone rings
Hurricane force of silent screams
Don’t know what to believe
Bend the rule just to break it
You're so tired because you've got to fake it
But you just want to be someone
Three, two
One for all and all for one
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
Times will be bad, times will be good
Things I wish I hadn’t done and some I wish I would
Cutting through the American noise
You’ve got a voice and a song to sing (And a song to sing)
Drink deep in the morning
Drink deep in the morning
See what the day will bring
[Chorus: John Cooper]
La da da da
Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
La da da da
Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
[Bridge: John Cooper]
No matter who you are you’ve got a voice
Why don’t you use it?
Sing your own song take all the noise
And make it into music
[Interlude: John Cooper]
La da da da
La da da da
La da da daaaa
La da da da
La da da da
La da da daaaaaaa
[Outro: John Cooper]
La da da da lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
La da da da you have a choice
Let love cut through the American noise
You’ve got a voice
Let love cut through the American noise
