Johnny Mainstream No Noise lyrics

There's no noise no more
Nothing coming through
Just a poor man behind a mic stand
And a guitar cable in a noose

There's no noise no more
Nothing on the tube
Just a dumb kid with a death wish
And some time in the studio

You woke up with your heart beating so hard that it shook the bed
And knocked all of the books off of your tv stand
Some poems you wrote in tenth grade
Some bills that you cannot pay
What a man of taste
No one loves you like i did back then
No one loves you like i did when we were kids

There's no noise no more
Nothing really new
Just a faint glow from a car phone

As it disappears down the road

Now everybody's waiting for you to hang yourself
You were so perfect when you started now you're someone else
There's nothing else to say
You talk yourself a big game
It's time to back it up
No one loves you quite like they did back then
No one loves you quite like they did when this began

But now there's no noise no more
Nothing but the truth
You're just a fall guy with a shelf life
And an oversized sense of worth

Running round poughkeepsie getting stoned with your ghost
I hear your voice through white noise off the coast
I hope i'm not bothering you with problems that you can't solve for yourself
