Lyrics Adding To the Noise (Our Version) - Switchfoot

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 spinning at the speed of sound

Stepping out of those convenience 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 don't know what they're gonna think of next
Genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways I could 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 coming in clear
From the third world to your corporate ears
We are the symphony of modern humanity

If we're adding to the noise
Turn off this song
