Will those feet in modern times Walk on soles that are made in China? Through the bright prosaic malls And the corridors that go on and on and on Are we blind ? Can we see? We are one, incomplete Are we blind ? In the city Waiting for lightning to be saved, yeah 'Cause love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I?m singing again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm singing Again, again, again, again, again Will those feet in modern times Understand this world's affliction? Recognize the righteous anger? Understand this world's addiction? I was blind, couldn't see What was here in me I was blind - insecure Felt like the road was way too long, yeah 'Cause love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm singing again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm singing again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm singing Again, again, again, again, again, again, again 'Cause love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that you're feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I'm singing Again, again, again, again, again, again, again All those feet in modern times Walk on soles made in China Will those feet in modern times See the bright prosaic malls Will those feet in modern times Recognize the heavy burden Will those feet in modern times Pardon me for my sins? Love is noise
