Nobody Listens

Hey mister, don't point at me

You shout rhetoric nonsense like a

Pavlovian model

Responding to questions

Hey teacher, arrogance is bliss

You spend your time turning water into life

As if you were

God's foreman

Is it any wonder things seem so awry?

We swim in sea of confusion

And don't have to think to survive

So nobody listens

Hey recluse, don't shout at me

You proclaim yourself expert by extensions of the methods

Detailed in your magazines

Hey downer, don't prey on me

We've all got bum raps that torment us day to day

That we hoist on our own shoulders

Is it any wonder people pass you by?

Your plea for understanding

Is heard as desperate lies

Nobody listens

I can't help you

I can't help you

I can't help you

I can't help you now

Is it any wonder things are so inane?

So many quests for compassion

Are just for someone's personal gains

So nobody listens

Nobody listens to you
