What's it gonna take to slow us down
To let the silence spin us around
What's it gonna take to drop this town
We've been spinnin at the speed of sound

Steppin out of those convenient stores
What could we want but more more more
From the third world to the corporate core
We are the symphony of modern humanity

If we're adding to the noise
Turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off your stereo, radio, video, I dunno

What they're gonna think of next
Genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways to fall into debt
I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet that that t.v. set

Tells us what we wanted to hear
But none of these sound bites are comin in clear
From the third world to the corporate ear
We are the symphony of modern humanity

If we're adding to the noise
Turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off your stereo, radio
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off your stereo, radio
