Society Says (Deaf Ears) Lyrics

Well society says, "You're a big boy now"

Can't run from your problems,

Gotta solve them somehow

And society says, "Stand on your feet"

Always play fair

And don't you ever cheat

But society won't lend you a hand

Won't teach you to walk

Won't teach you to stand

And when you're down in the gutter with nothing left

Their eyes are all closed

And their ears are all deaf

They'll take your money

They'll take your pride

Give you a number

Leave you nowhere to hide

You cry for help, but no one hears

Cause society is filled with deaf ears

Stand tall, don't let them break your soul,

Find your strength, let your story be told,

In a world that's cold, and full of fears,

Rise above, don't succumb, to their deaf ears

Well society says,

"You're a big boy now"

[big boy now].

Can't run from your problems.

Gotta solve them somehow

[solve them somehow]

They'll take your money

They'll take your pride

Give you a number

Leave you nowhere to hide

You cry for help, but no one hears

Cause society is filled with deaf ears

You cry for help, but no one hears

[cry for help, but no one hears]

Cause society is filled with deaf ears

[society filled with deaf ears]

How?

How?

Someone tell me how!
