American Noise

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.

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.

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.

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 cause you've gotta fake it,
But you just wanna be someone.

Three, two, one for all and all for one.

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.

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.

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.

La-da-da-da,
La-da-da-da,
La-da-da-da-ah,
La-da-da-da,
La-da-da-da,
La-da-da-da-ah!

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.
