Bad Religion
Nobody Listens
[Verse 1]
Hey mister, don't point at me
You spout 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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Hey recluse, don't shout at me
You proclaim yourself expert
By extension 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
[Chorus 2]
Is it any wonder people pass you by?
Your plea for understanding is heard as desperate lies
So nobody listens
[Bridge]
I can't help you
I can't help you
I can't help you
I can't help you now
[Chorus 3]
Is it any wonder things are so inane?
So many quests for compassion
Are just for someone's personal gain
So nobody listens
Nobody listens to you
