Background Noise

Lyrics

So another gun goes off - Background noise Two kids in a stolen car - Background noise A young man screams in the dead of the night - Background noise A family mourns by an early graveside - Background noise You hear the cries of the different sides The bullet hits again Take a look in anybody's eyes Our tears are all the same Our tears are all the same No shattering explosion is Background noise A man or a woman's final words Are more than background noise The sound of somebody's breaking bones - More than background noise A mother's graceful words of mercy - More than background noise What the hell do I know - Crying out for love What the hell can I do - Crying out for love When every single child needs To hear the voice of love We all need a new speech - The words of love
