White Noise Lyrics

I'm just a north side, DC baby

Me mammy raised me by the horse ridin'

Council housing, crisis, crazy

When the sun's out

Sons come knockin' teeth for change

I hope it comes soon

'Cause I don't know you but know your cousin

Die a new day

Where you from?

Yeah where ya from?

Yeah where's your head rest?

That's two steps the wrong direction

Don't you be here

Say that postcode wrong

I wanna break you

'Cause my home's broken there isn't love and

I'll equate you

Take you down like mathematics

When the shoes break, we tie loose ends

Toss the fuckers on the phone line

I hope you come late night to pick the green up

Take your money and break your teeth

Just like my dreams were

Night they came and tossed my mother in the four door

Wheeled her off, my foster parents couldn't control me

Smoke them trees inside the Civic with the doors locked

It's nature, nurture

It's a habit, it's a routine

Weekly stand offs in the streets with Síochána

Guard the peace but lock me up just for the peace tree

Read my rights so what's the crime

Intent to smoke that?

Half gram baggie

I couldn't supply myself a blowback

Who'd come buying from me?

They wanna trump the charge up

"Just one more knacker up off the streets"

That's what they say right?

Read my rights they wanna kill me 'cause an accent

Hold that purse a little tighter when I ask them

'What's the time?'

My court proceedings weighing on me

'Cause I had dreams of upping sticks and jumpin' countries

Took that from my hands like when my ma left

Fuck that stress, I don't need love, I need the dope man

Fuck the meds, I don't need that, I need to smoke man

Fuck the plebs, the rich are culling off the piss poor

Peep the news, just in, this public discourse

Is race horse pissin' up on the steps of the cathedral

Sovereign state they'd rather see my mother bleed out

Than build a clinic

You leave abortions to the back streets

If we need it, we're gonna get it

Fuck the hand-outs

Give tax breaks to smarmy fuckers in the grey suits

Leave me starvin' tryna find a source of income

Can't pull cockles from out the Liffey

Dollymount Strand is too polluted

I'm just a fish, I'm tryna breath air

In plain sight then everybody watch me drown now

White thrash

White noise

You just ignore it 'til it drowns out

It's never gonna drown out

I'm never gonna drown out

"…Gardai have issued an appeal for information

Regarding an act of vandalism carried out on a local

Delicatessen on the north side of Dublin City. The

Incident occurred around 4am on Saturday morning

CCTV footage obtained from the shop front shows

Two men attempting several times to throw a large

Plastic Ice-cream cone through the shop window…"
