lyrics

DON'T YOU LISTEN

If you’re getting tired of rockstar information
You just want to hear their songs
But they just want to say in the most unclear way
And always going on too long
Anarchy, censorship, conspiracy and rhetoric
Everything we need to know
Fountains of knowledge from all those years in college
Or Googling before the show?

Well most are better than they used to be
Just less to to say to me
So don’t you listen, to a musician
Everytime they open their mouth
You might regret it, they will forget it
Next time they’re in town

Everyone’s an expert with environmental science
From early morning coffee T.V.
Their guest is some musician an authorative position
Trying hard to push their latest CD
You really can’t blame, these artists or their fame
Passionate for a cause
They look better than scientists in high-heels and a bra
And get an even better applause

Many today have the bravery to say
And have it on authority
Some know a little and are sitting in the middle
With humility and honesty
But there’s plenty of those clowns, spend a night in your town
Saying, “yo… check this out!”
A half baked take on life, bout’ our existential strife
So just before you jump and pout
