A Little Noise 

by N. Generalovich 

I always played by the rules

A most reliable tool

I got what’s given in spite of my choice

I feel my effort marooned

I sit in back of the room

And hide my voice

I need to make a little noise

I’m gonna make a little noise

They’re not hearing it at ten

I’m gonna raise it to eleven

Because they can’t ignore what’s underscored with a roar heard by the heavens

They keep you pacified to ward a riot

Until your dreams rely upon their diet

When the curtain blows, get a glimpse of those, who then will say you chose to buy it.

I don’t expect that we’ll be heard

Until we say it as a crowd

They won’t be listening at first

We’re gonna have to say it loud

We can’t expect to have a choice

If we’re afraid to raise our voice

We need to make a little noise… 4x’s

All that I want is to be heard

And all my singing’s not enough

Nobody listens to the words

So I will turn the volume up

You can’t expect to have a choice

If your desire isn’t voiced

We need to make a little noise… (4x’s)

We always played by the rules

Raised as reliable tools

We got what’s given despite our own choice

We’re sacrificed by their laws

We need to rise to the cause, and find our voice…

We need to make a little… we need to make a little…

Noise

We need to make a little noise
