The Kinks
Noise
Dad's stuck in the factory, machines are banging all around
Momma's in the kitchen, she got the radio on all the time
My little sister's screaming, and stamping on the ground
And the radio keeps pumping out the same old boring sound

All I hear is noise
Can't get away from the noise
Can you hear me above the noise?
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

Can you hear the noise? (noise)
Can't get away from the noise. (noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (noise)
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

Banging in my ears, in every direction
Listen to the roar, hear that city(? ), poundin', poundin'
There oughta be a law, hey buddy, turn that radio down
Sometimes I get used to it and I forget that it's around

But all I hear is noise. (noise)
Can't get away from noise. (noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (noise)

All of this confusion is ruining my day
Let the noise be like the sunset, and slowly fade away
Fading, fade

Girl, I want to build a better world for me and you
I wanna pull out all the plugs before I finally blow my fuse
Wish all the confusion would slowly fade away
I'd tell you that I love you, but you don't hear what I way

All you hear is noise. (noise)
Can't get away from noise. (noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (noise)
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

Noise in the street, they're digging up the pavement
Noise in the air, those traffic jams are everywhere
Noise on noise, to cover up the noise
The pressure's building up because there's no way to avoid

All the noise. (noise)
Can't get away from noise. (noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (noise)

All of this confusion is ruining my day
Let the noise be like the sunset, and slowly fade away
Fading, fading
