White Noise
Skrewdriver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things have got worse as time has passed
It's my nation, first and last
No one's gonna take our pride away
No one can tell me that we asked for this
To have our land thrown into the abyss
Treason and deceit are the orders of the day

(chorus)
Come on boys, hear the white noise
Come on boys, hear the white noise
What you gonna do when it's too late?
Let the stranger control your fate?
Let all our music be taken away?
It's a little weird how it's gone so far
Like a madman at the wheel of a car
No one's gonna know the final date nor day

(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)

We know the ones who've brought us to this
The ones who gave our land the deadly kiss
Hidden behind the screens and the daily news
A nation of warriors prepares to die
Beaten by the airwaves and the lies
A maritime nation's final deadly cruise

(chorus)

Control your fate
Before it's too late
Control your fate




Before it's too late
White noise, white noise (to fade)

Only one who went psycho on the projection was you lad. Typing up that full essay you got there about leftists and shit. I never said anything of the sort, all I said was that you can’t let a corporation take things from you. :)











Ya also instantly went into defense mode thinking I endorsed blm when i said nothing of the sort, so either you’re really sensitive, or just need to get over yourself.

Being Black and into rock/punk/metal, from Boston with Love, this is extremely heartwarming to find by accident 🥺🤘🏿 at 29 going on 30, I'm still happy to see my people hold it down.

@animalsarefood

Sweet. A few years ago I met a 50 year old black lawyer that was into punk and metal big time. I was there working on his computer for the company I worked for at the time. He had punk streaming from Pandora and he and I had a lenghty conversation about old school punk rock/metal. I thought it was prttey cool. Not everyday I run into a black punk/metal head. Rare where I live lol.

The more that you look and research, you realize the truth. Black America created every genre of music.

The Hillbillies of largely Scots-Irish origin had a massive influence on what became rock "n' roll and all that followed after with their rockabilly that was essentially revved up country and bluegrass. Listen to the church music of the Appalachia region and the snake handling pentecostal sects in particular. That is primeval rock and roll stripped to it's bare bones. Black America with Gospel and the blues had an undoubted huge impact but rock has always been a musical melting pot drawing on different cultural currents.
