Bad Religion - Nobody Listens lyrics

you shout rhetoric nonsense like a Pavlovian model

responding to his questions

hey teacher, arrogance is bliss

you spend your time turning water into life

as if you were God's foreman

is it any wonder

things seem so awry?

the masses are cloaked in confusion?

we don't have to think to survive

so nobody listens

hey recluse, dont shout at me

you proclaim yourself expert by extensions 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

is it any wonder

people pass you by?

your plea for understanding

is heard as desperate lies?

nobody listens

I can't help you...

is it any wonder

things are so inane?

so many quests for compassion

are just for someone's personal gain

so nobody listens to you
