White Noise

The Living End White Noise Lyrics
1.How Do We Know?

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

We've been waiting
On the front line
We've been prepared our entire lives
For this day to arrive

And no doubt this will be
Part of our history
We're making our move
And we're breaking out of the grind

Today, the new age
We'll rise up
State our case
Throw it down

And after the rain
The only ones that still remain
Are standing proud
Separated from the crowd

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight

(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance

(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

New information
Coming down the line
But as far as I can tell
It's just the blind leading the blind

I've seen frustration
Written in the eyes
Of a disaffected race
Being born and robbed of their time

Today, the new age
We'll rise up
State our case
Throw it down

And after the rain
The only ones that still remain
Are standing proud
Separated from the crowd

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight

(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance

(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

Today will be the last day
Tomorrow everything will change

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight

(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance

(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

Today will be the last day
Tomorrow everything will change


2.Raise The Alarm

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

I may not believe in God
It doesn't mean I'm a lesser person
I still have a heart
And I know what it feels like to be broken

I may not believe in Jesus
But I believe in sacrifice
Life doesn't always stand a reason
And no one ever gets a chance to live it twice

But I'd rather risk my fate
Than to lose my faith

In the lovin', the hatin'
The constant debatin'
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm

The living that die
The constant deny
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm
Raise the alarm

I may not believe in regrets
But I believe in salvation
Some things I'd rather forget
We choose what we see
And we see what we choose to believe

In the name of the Father
The Son, and the Holy Ghost
I'm not concerned with religion
After all it's what's inside that matters most

But I'd rather risk my fate
Than to lose my faith

In the lovin', the hatin'
The constant debatin'
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm

The living that die
The constant deny
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm
Raise the alarm
Raise the alarm

But I'd rather risk my fate
Than to lose my faith
Yeah, I'd rather risk my fate
Than to lose my faith

In the lovin', the hatin'
The constant debatin'
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm

The living that die
The constant deny
The chaos, the calm
Raise the alarm
Raise the alarm

Raise the alarm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Raise the alarm


3.White Noise

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise

If looks could kill
I'd be in trouble right now
Time stands still
When you're around

I gave you all my time
And you gave me all your lies
And you've just come around
To say goodbye

Now here we stand with our hearts in our hands
Squeezing out all the lies
All that I hear is a message unclear
What else is there to decide?

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise, white noise

You promised me your soul
But then left me in the cold
No warning and without a reason

You're placing yourself in a world of mistrust
Making excuses it's not you, it's us
But how can something unspoken
Seem so loud and now

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise

The operator comes on the line
Says hurry up, man
'Cause you ain't got much time
White noise, white noise

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise
All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
White noise, white noise

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise

All that I'm hearing from you
Is white noise, white noise
All that I'm hearing from you


4.Moment In The Sun

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

This is the right time
This is the right place

Living underneath a gray cloud
When nothing ever changes
I couldn't be any less proud
The heart of this town has grown cold
I'm gonna get out before I get too old
There in a better time than now

'Cause all that we ever hear
Is things will be better come next year
They never, ever get any better
And I don't care what you've got in store
Because I'm not gonna wait anymore

This is our moment in the sun
This is our time to run
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us anymore

So please don't be concerned
If we never return
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us here anymore

There's no future for us here in this place
And no one ever changes
They're all living in yesterday
And we never impressed them
Maybe we never will

We're either running too fast
Or standing too still
We made up our minds
There's nothing now to make us stay

'Cause all that we ever hear
Is things will be better come next year
They never, ever get any better
And I don't care what you've got in store
Because I'm not gonna wait anymore

This is our moment in the sun
This is our time to run
Because there's nothing left for us here
Nothing left for us anymore

Please don't be concerned
If we never return
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us here

Well, this is the right place
And this is the right time
For our moment in the sun
Moment in the sun, go

And I don't care what you've got in store
Because I'm not gonna wait anymore
No, I don't care what you've got in store
Because I'm not gonna wait anymore

This is our moment in the sun
This is our time to run
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left

And don't pretend to be concerned
If we never return
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us here

You were born here
Will you die here?
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us here

You were born here
But will you die here?
Because there's nothing left for us here
There's nothing left for us here

And I don't care what you've got in store
Because I'm not gonna wait
Around here anymore


5.Waiting For The Silence

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

Opinions can be fatal
If you're not careful
They can lead you on the right track
Or stab you in the back

You say I should know better
That I should just agree
But honey, hearts don't come with guarantees
I hate to break it to you
But I'm obviously not who you want me to be

And it's a cowardly act now
I didn't mean to react now
Your mind is under attack
And you're asking yourself why?

I can't live without the attention
I feel lost, got no direction

I'm waiting for the silence to end now
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Waiting for someone to surrender
Don't you remember how it was last year?

When all of the boys were making their noise
And the girls were trying hard to pretend
We had it all back then
Now we're waiting for the silence to end

Secrets can be hurtful
And the truth can sometimes kill it seems
Be careful what you wish for
Because from over here
The grass don't look too green

And it's a cowardly act now
I didn't mean to react now
Your mind is under attack
And you're asking yourself why?

I can't live without the attention
I feel lost, got no direction

I'm waiting for the silence to end now
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Waiting for someone to surrender
Don't you remember how it was last year?

When all of the boys were making their noise
And the girls were trying hard to pretend
We had it all back then
Now we're waiting for the silence to end

Is there any point shifting the blame?
Is there any point chasing a runaway train?

Well, I can't live without the attention
I feel lost, got no direction

I'm waiting for the silence to end now
Waiting for the smoke to clear
I'm waiting for someone to surrender
Don't you remember how it was last year?

When all of the boys were making their noise
And the girls were trying hard to pretend
We had it all back then
Now we're waiting for the silence to end
Waiting for the silence to end
Waiting for the silence to end


6.Make The Call

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

Alright

Waiting on the line, do you still have the time
Or have you already lost your mind?
Slowly you descend closer to the end
Soon you will be walking with the dead

No one will ease your despair
No one will answer your prayers
You take your own life in your own hands
One, two, one, two, three, four

Waiting, why are you waiting?
Make the call, make the call
Waiting, why are you waiting?
Make the call, make the call, yeah

See the other side surrender in your pride
Face yourself and let the truth decide
All that you believed what you think you see
Only what you make it out to be

No one will ease your despair
No one will answer your prayers
You take your own life in your own hands
One, two, one, two, three, four

Waiting, why are you waiting?
Make the call, make the call
Waiting, why are you waiting?
Make the call, make the call, make the call

Waiting on the line but do you still have the time
Or have you already lost your mind?
Slowly you descend closer to the end
Soon you will be walking with the dead

So make the call, make the call
Make the call

Whatever you do, you don't need it too long
Make the call


7.Loaded Gun

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man, yeah

Did you hear what happened
To that poor man at the station tonight?
He was shot in cold blood, waiting for the train
While heading home to his wife

And the police report said, we have no choice left
We did what we were forced to do
He was sweating it out with a backpack on
Who knows what he might've done
We did the only thing that we know how to do

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man

He was his mother's one and only son
But to everybody else
He was public enemy number one

Well, he fit the profile, there'll be no trial
There is nothing left to say
So what if he's innocent, he's still one of them
And I won't lose any sleep tonight

And the news report said, the law protected
But the young man never had a clue
And the message to his mother read
Sorry but your son is dead
This is our job and we were ordered to take his life

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man

He was his mother's one and only son
But to everybody else
He was public enemy number one

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man

He was his mother's one and only son
But to everybody else
He was public enemy number one


8.Kid

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

Keep it up, keep it up
You're gonna kill the kid
Soon enough, soon enough
He's gonna flip the lid
Will you be happy then
Wearin' a satisfied grin?

Take it up, take it up
Take it all out on him
And take away his heart
Drain all the life within
Will you be happy then
Wearin' a satisfied grin?

You wear your heart on your sleeve
Living your life in a dream
Believe what you want to believe
And I thought this was supposed to be fun

Keep it up, keep it up
You're gonna kill the kid
Soon enough, soon enough
He's gonna flip the lid
Will you be happy then
Wearin' a satisfied grin?

You wear your heart on your sleeve
You live your life in a dream
Believe what you want to believe
After all that we've been through now
Still so much to do now, with you now

That kid's not right
There's something wrong with him
Wound up too tight
Keepin' it all within, yeah
Don't let them see your fear
Stand up and wipe away the tears

Keep it up, keep it up
You're gonna kill the kid
Soon enough, soon enough
He's gonna flip the lid
Will you be happy then
Wearin' a satisfied grin?


9.21st Century

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

Diana, the Berlin wall
Even giants can take a fall
George Bush, the bikini wax
Below the belt, hide the facts

Skase is gone and Axle's mad
Kaufman was the best we had
John is dead, the bastard lives
What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?

Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century

Global warming just ain't cool
Too much chlorine in the gene pool
Save the sheep, clone the whales
Running out of options, preparing to fail

Genocide, de facto wife
G8 summit designed for life
Muhammad Ali, Kurt Cobain
There's no such thing as cheap cocaine
Never again

Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed, everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century, in the 21st century

Why isn't anyone around?
Why is everybody lying down?
Everyone is shouting
But I can't hear a sound

No one wants to act their age
Take a pill, join the rave
Living fast, dying young
Twenty seven years of too much fun

Vietnam, the markets crashed
Brian Wilson hide the stash
Making cents of interests rates
And Hefner is the devil incarnate
Devil incarnate

Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st

Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me


10.Hey Hey Disbeliever

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney

Hey, hey, disbeliever
You're bleeding me dry
Come on now, listen to reason
And everything will be fine

I can't understand why you're so underhanded
You're just not yourself
Pretending to be something you don't believe in
Is bad for your health

I don't know why you're trying to hide
Now don't be so afraid
Always regretting and never forgetting
The mistakes that you've made

Hey, hey, disbeliever
You're bleeding me dry
Come on now, listen to reason
Everything will be fine

If craving attention and needing redemption
Is all part of the game
Nothing will ever be different
And we will all be insane

To hell with your habit
I'm not gonna have it
I'm tossing away my concern
Always a liar, playing with fire
And you will get burned

I wish it didn't have to be like this
Love doesn't lie, I'll testify
And that is the truth
And I dare you to defy
And to show me the proof

Hey, hey, disbeliever
You're bleeding me dry
Come on now, listen to reason
Everything will be fine

Hey, hey, disbeliever
We want to see ya
Try not to panic

You're such a long way from home
You're such a long way from home
You're such a long way from home
You're such a long way from home

Revenge can be sweet
And romance can be sour
We haven't much time
To dissect or devour

Love doesn't lie down
That's just the truth
I dare you to defy
And to show me the proof
I wish it didn't have to end like this

There are answers
No second chances
Given beyond the grave
So here's to the fucked up
Decisions we've made

Hey, hey, disbeliever
You're bleeding me dry
Come on now, listen to reason
Everything will be fine

Hey, hey
To reason
We want to see ya
Don't panic


11.Sum Of Us

Lyricist:Christopher John Cheney, Scott Bradley Owen, Andy Douglas
Strachan, Kalju Tonuma

God, help those who don't help the others
God, help those who don't help the others

Some of us have more rights than the others
Some of us have to fight more than the others too

We all have our time to live
But we don't have time for each other
We all have our time to live
But we don't have time for each other

God, help those who don't help the others
Oh God, help those who don't help the others

Well, there ain't no reward
For being a no one, for being ignored
Some of us don't deserve a second chance
Some of us don't deserve to make demands

We all have our time to live
But we don't have time for each other
We decide how much we give
And what goes around, goes around again

God, help those who don't help the others
Oh God, help those who don't help the others
Yeah God, help those who don't help the others
Oh God, help those who don't help the others
Hey yeah

God, help those who don't help the others
Oh God, help those who don't help the others
Yeah God, help those who don't help the others
Oh God, help those who don't help the others

Hey oh, hey oh
Hey oh, hey oh
Hey oh, hey oh
Hey oh, hey oh
Hey oh, hey oh


12.Tragedy

And so it ended in Tragedy
And now the future is hard to see
What lies ahead is undetected
But it all ended in Tragedy

Will you admit defeat? In Tragedy?

Back when it it started
Any hands were clean
All that you wanted
Was to be released

You had a lot of heart on your sleeve
But it all ended in Tragedy

Will you admit defeat? In Tragedy?

Now its all over, can you admit defeat?
Battled and shaken in to next week
You've come a long long way to be here
But it all ended in Tragedy

Will you admit defeat? in Tragedy?

Will we ever be reunited?
Will we ever be reunited?
Those who don't believe, well off with their heads
Well off with their heads
Well off with their heads

Will ever be reunited?
Will we ever be reunited?
Those who don't believe, well off with their heads
Well off with their heads
Well off with their heads

In Tragedy, will you admit defeat?
In Tragedy, will you admit defeat?
In Tragedy....

14.Down To The Wire

Lord have mercy on me
For all the wrong I've done
And although, we both know
That I should not have run

I'm a desperate man
With a desperate cause
For reasons I shall not give
Just add it on to that list you keep
Of sins that I live with

Are you strong enough tonight?
Are you man enough to try?
Are you ready to give up and say good bye?

Are you more afraid to live than to die?
You have one second to decide

Down To The Wire
Closer to the flame
Down To The Wire
Closer to the flame

And if you get too close to the fire
Then you'll only get burned again
You fall Down To The Wire

Spare me your sympathy I don't need it
I spend more then half of my days feeling defeated
I once bought a second hand bible but I didn't need it

I'm a broken man, with a broken heart
Preparing to pay for my crime
Just like this cigarette in my head
My memory will burn in time

Are you strong enough tonight?
Are you man enough to try?
Are you ready to give up and say good bye?

Are you more afraid to live than to die?
You have one second to decide

Down To The Wire
Close to the flame
Down To The Wire
Closer to the flame

And if you get too close to the fire
Then you'll only get burned again
You fall Down To The Wire

Down To The Wire
Closer to the flame
Down To The Wire
Closer to the flame

And if you get too close to the fire
Then you'll only get burned again

Down To The Wire
Down To the Wire


15.Live To Love

When you're facing a mirror
And you can't look yourself in the eye
Like a stone in the river
You sink down to the bottom
Every single time

You're always running for cover
Always leaving behind the disguise
Always needing another
You're trying to keep a hold
While your hands are tied

You won't know when your times up
You should think yourself lucky
If you Live to Love another day

Draw a line in the sand
Roll the dice from your hand
Oh come on now it can't be that bad
If you Live to Love another day

When you search for perfection
But there's no right answers to be found
And when you're done asking questions
Will you get back up or will you sink to the ground?

You won't know when your time's up
You should think yourself lucky
If you Live to Love another day

Draw a line in the sand
Roll the dice from your hand
Oh come on now it can't be that bad
If you Live to Love another day

and...

You won't know when your time's up
You should think yourself lucky
If you Live To Love another day

Draw a line in the sand
Roll the dice from your hand
Oh come on now it can't be that bad
If you Live to Love another day...

19.Enemy Of Time

ohhhh

The rosy life you dream of
Is there within our hand
Sometimes things don't go our way
Not quite as we planned

So take another photograph
The portrait of the mind
And think about the ones you love
And those you left behind
The hill is getting steeper
And harder still to climb
But we wont surrender
To the enemy of time

The road that you have travelled
And all that you have seen
Amounts to nothing
If you don't know what it means

Take another photograph
Portrait of the mind
And think about the ones you love
And those you left behind
The hill is getting steeper
And harder still to climb
But we wont surrender
To the enemy of time

The rosy life you dream of
Is there within our hand
Sometimes things don't go our way
Not quite as we planned

Take another photograph
Portrait of the mind
And think about the ones you love
And those you left behind
The hill is getting steeper
And harder still to climb
But we wont surrender
To the enemy of time

Time
Time

Ohhhh


20.Who's On Your Side

Your mind is breaking up
You think you've had enough
You're getting set to detonate
Don't let yourself decide the fate of you

Cos It will be ok
And It will be alright
And It will be ok

Who's on your side?
You're not gonna make it alone

Your mind is breaking up
You think you've had enough
You're getting set to detonate
Don't let yourself decide the fate of you

It will be ok
and it will be alright
and it will be ok

Who's on your side
You're not gonna make it alone

Your mind is breaking up
You think you've had enough
You think you've had enough
Your mind is breaking up
Your mind is breaking up
You think you've had enough
You think you've had enough

Cos it will be ok
Cos it will be alright
And it will be ok
And it will be alright


21.Jailbreak

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said 'I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home

Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
I wish that I could fly

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Set me free

Jailbreak
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
He had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was -

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free

Jailbreak
Jailbreak

Aw, c'mon!

Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back

Jailbreak
Jailbreak, 16 years
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
Jailbreak
