Nobody's Listening Lyrics

You get up in the morning, head down to the subway

To give those folks a piece of your mind

You get out your guitar and sing your own songs

About how the world is so unkind

"Bush is an asshole, this oil tastes like blood

My McGenocide comes with extra large fries"

You come on so strong in every single song

Your rhetoric's so thick, it's hard to care about who dies

Yes, nobody's listening

To a word that you say

They just tune you out

And go about their day-to-day

'Cause you're not Truth's prophet

We all know what you're gonna say

There's no choir to preach to

And no one else here to sway

I sing in a nightclub, my silly little songs

About girls I've liked and being thirteen

If I mention the Thundercats or the Garbage Pail Kids

I might get a laugh, but what does it mean?

Sure, I care about the world, or maybe I don't

I need to open up my ways of seeing

And then the next guy comes on, does my exact same act

It's hard to justify my reasons for being

Yes, nobody's listening

I got nothing to say

I might give you a chuckle

But so can Youtube everyday

I'm just a commodity

I'm a passage of time

I'm a lightweight soufflé

I'm a nonsense rhyme
