Won’t You Listen

All we can say is we’re talking
Yet you keep drowning us out
Playing your music too loud
Drinking, drugging that won’t quiet us down
It’s hard to hear what we got to say
So we will shout, you can’t make us go away
We will wake you when you’re trying to sleep
All you’ll be doing is counting sheep
You’re going to plead for some saving grace
To try and make the voices go away
All you have to do is accept your fate
We’re going to show you the past
Help you learn what you should have learned back then
We are tired of watching you fail your life again and again
Nothings ever easy but you need to make this leap
So find the silence and hear us speak
We’ll give you the wisdom you seek
It’ll become clear once you pay attention
We will help you learn your life lessons
So are you ready?
