Electric President - White Noise lyrics

In the white noise of everything I heard voices still trying 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 We mined it for what it was worth Wasn't much, wasn't much Find another pair of lights No machine is ever free 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 You make your mark in everything 'Cause you don't know where you are You've been swearing up and down you knew your way But now you're back at the start 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 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 Time moves on and we realize we're all strangers Nothing binding us now except our habits and scowls And our off-hand nitpicks We try and 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 No! that's not me, not this time I won't fall into line I'm gonna cut a different path if it k**s 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 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
