[Verse 1]
Cyberotic head explode
Information overload
And I just can't take anymore
And I'm gonna break

[Chorus]
Somethin' gotta give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's gotta give
Comic books are coming true
Does the noise in my head bother you?

[Bridge]
Digerotic mass appeal
Feels like flesh but tastes unreal
And I'm going to break

[Chorus]
Somethin's got to give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Don't you like it, tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Hold your breath until you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Comic books are coming true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If love that seemed to fall from grace
Was sittin' on your interface
Your megahertz she can't forgive
Your love, it died before you ever lived

[Chorus]
Somethin's got to give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Don't you like it, tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Hold your breath until you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Comic books are coming true
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Does the noise in my head bother you?

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
