(Verse 1)
Woke up with a headache in a monochrome room
Television talking, predicting my doom
Coffee is bitter and the milk is sour
Counting down the minutes, counting down the hour
Everybody’s walking with their heads down low
Where are they going?Does anybody know?
(Chorus)
Cut the cord, cut the line
I’m sick of pretending that everything’s fine
There’s static in the wire, buzzing in my brain
Driving me crazy, driving me insane
Scream it out loud, let the glass break
How much more of this silence can we take?
(Verse 2)
Plastic smiles on a magazine stand
Selling me a life I don’t understand
They say "buy this"and they say "be that"
I’m just a mouse in a trap for the cat
Scratching at the walls, trying to break through
Looking for a color that isn’t grey or blue
(Chorus)
Cut the cord, cut the line
I’m sick of pretending that everything’s fine
There’s static in the wire, buzzing in my brain
Driving me crazy, driving me insane
Scream it out loud, let the glass break
How much more of this silence can we take?
(Bridge)
(Heavy Guitar Solo)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?!
The signal is dead!
The signal is dead!
(Chorus)
Cut the cord, cut the line
I’m sick of pretending that everything’s fine
There’s static in the wire, buzzing in my brain
Driving me crazy, driving me insane
Scream it out loud, let the glass break
How much more of this silence can we take?
(Outro)
Just static.
Just noise.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
(Abrupt end)
