Standard (EADGBE)

 Rhythm 2: (high) (high)

(w/ Rhythm 2) 2x:

Hey Mister, don't point at me

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 forman

(chorus)

Is it any wonder things seem so awry?

We swim in a sea of confusion and don't have to think to survive

So nobody listens

Rhythm 1: 2x

(w/ Rhythm 2) 2x:

Hey recluse, don't shout at me

You proclaim yourself expert by extensions of methods

Detailed in your magazines

Hey downer, don't pray on me

We've all got bum raps that torment us day to day

That we hoist on our own shoulders

(w/ chorus rhythm)

Is it any wonde people pass you by?

Your plea for understanding is heard as desperate lies

So nobody listens

(w/ rhythm 1)

I can't help you

I can't help you

I can't help you

I can't help you, now

Is it any wonder things are so inane?

So many quests for compassion

Are just for someone's personal gain

So nobody listens

Rhythm 1: 2x

Nobody listens to you
