Escape From Noise Lyrics

Negativland Escape From Noise

"You've got a good beginning ... hit and miss, and trial and
error ... it just depends again on breaking the records over radio."
ROCK MUSIC BLARES
DOORS SLAM
PEOPLE YELL
CHILDREN SCREAM
SIRENS WHINE
TRUCKS RUMBLE AND ROAR
AND ROCK MUSIC BLARES
BLARES
BLARES
BLARES
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE ... FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
NOW YOU TAKE ALL THAT NOISE ...AND RUN IT DOWN OFF OF ONE BUILDING ...
TO
ANOTHER BUILDING ... AND DOWN TO THE PAVEMENT WHERE YOU'RE WALKING.
AND
IT'S NO WONDER YOU'RE EXHAUSTED AFTER A DAY OF SHOPPING. NO WONDER
YOU FEEL
AS IF YOU CAN'T FINISH THE DAY ON THE JOB. YOU'RE TIRED. YOU'RE BEATEN
DOWN. YOU'RE IRRITABLE. YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ... ARE
SUFFERING.
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE ... FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
IS THERE ANY ESCAPE FROM NOISE?
