(Mighty Mighty Bosstoens)
I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am
I look like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam
I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'
I like ragin' rampagin' and screamin' and yellin'
sound of a fire engine headed for a fire
emotions so high they can't get any higher
goin' out of control i an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud
awfully quiet on the streets yesterday
people on the streets had little to say
I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown
(chorus)
sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright
given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night
awfully quiet on the trains last night
people on the trains kept the conversation light
I rode the trains and barely heard a word
quietest train I ever heard
(chorus)
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the phone called up the boys
I was jonesing so bad, I could barely hack it
they came to the house and picked up the racket
they turned my place on its ear
the boy's began to riot
It felt so good to hear
on a day that was so quiet
I screamed and cheered them on
and helped out where I could
And when they all were gone
I was feeling good
