Dad's stuck in the factory, machines are banging all around,

And the radio keeps pumping out the same old boring sound.


G                    C     G                       C     
All I hear is noise.       Can't get away from the noise.

Can you hear me above the noise?

Banging in my ears, in every direction,

C                             G                       
Listen to the roar, hear that city poundin', poundin'.

There oughta be a law, hey buddy, turn that radio down,

    C           D                   C              D     
Sometimes I get used to it and I forget that it's around.

All of this confusion is ruining my day,

        C                 G          C            G    C  G    C    
Let the noise be like the sunset and slowly fade away, Fading, fade.


C                              G

I wanna pull out all the plugs before I finally blow my fuse.

C                            G                
Wish all the confusion would slowly fade away,

I'd tell you that I love you, but you don't hear what I say.


G                      C    G                       C     
All you hear is noise.      Can't get away from the noise.

Noise in the street, they're digging up the pavement,

Noise in the air, those traffic jams are everywhere.

C                  G                  
Noise on noise, to cover up the noise,

    C                   D                  C          D   
The pressure's building up because there's no way to avoid

All of this confusion is ruining my day,

Let the noise be like the sunset and slowly fade away, Fading, fade.
