More than once in a while
No matter how good you feel
Someone comes along
So loud they spoil your fun

That's when you can decide
To stand back and step aside
And lose that big beat
It keeps them marching in time

Tranced out and powered down
Death to the threats of the decibel plot
Let them scream on without you
Just turn away, hear them calling your bluff
Your date with no noise is
Long overdue

("Oh, no noise")

No noise, we'll reconnect
All of the fragments that you call your life
Pieces that once fit
Broken apart by the pounding of drums

That's when you must decide
To stand back and step aside
Then lose that big beat
The one that keeps them marching in time

Tranced out and powered down
Death to the threats of the decibel plot
Let them scream on without you
Just turn away, hear them calling your bluff
Your date with no noise is
Long overdue

("I sure as fuck hope it recorded that time")
