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")
