Nobody's Listening Lyrics

Nobody's listening to a word I say

What on earth do they come here for

Surely not to hear me play

It can't be the prices of this flat beer

And it can't be the people

'Cos no nice people come here

Nobody's listening to a single line

I could be a mass murderer

Confessing a crime

But they wouldn't hear me

If I yelled fire!

It's like playing to cavemen

But a caveman's IQ is much higher

Oh the things we must do

Though it hurts us inside

Learn to swallow your pride

Good things will be yours in time

Article clerks and insolent jerks

They've been here since one

Spend all their pay tryin' to get laid

And this they call fun

But I could be describing

Your girl in bed

Though it's unlikely

'Cos your girl just don't turn my head

Nobody hears and nobody cares

Nobody looks until everyone stares

Then when they're hooked

Boy that's when your phone will start ringing

Until then…

Nobody shines in this cesspool

Until the right people say that it's cool

Then it's; welcome aboard son

We always knew you would make it!

Beauty and youth is your ticket to fame

And you'll be fast-tracked if you play the game

And talent is fine, but if you have none we can fake it

Then when you've given your last pound of flesh

Busted and broke with no fuel in tank

All you will hear with your last dying breath is them singing…

Can you hear it?

La la – la la la la

La de da – la – la la la la

La la – la la la la – la de da

Come on…

La la – la la la la

La de da – la – la la la la

La la – la la la la – la de da

Sing it…

La la – la la la la

La de da – la – la la la la

La de da – la – la la la la la la la – la de da
