Lyrics

[Chorus] Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah [Verse 1] Come on over, sir And let me buy you a drink 'Cause everyone in the world Is simply dying to know just what you think Yes, we value your opinion As a measure of our self-worth 'Cause you've been in this business awhile but baby, baby I've been destined since birth [Chorus] Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah [Verse 2] What's your name? Don't you work for that radio? Then you write for that paper Well then, by all means you know, you know What's happening now What's hip, what's putridly insincere Yes, you're right, it's time for you to go We don't sell any of that here [Chorus] Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah [Bridge] This ain't my thing You know I really can't compete Yeah, yeah, you're as deep as the fucking ocean With your snobbish underground elite Perhaps I bite the hand that feeds Or cut off my nose to spite my face But if you didn't come here to hear the truth You shouldn't have come here in the first place [Chorus] Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah [Verse 3] Then I turn to myself And ask if the turn will be mine Maybe I bitch too much Maybe too angry, maybe I whine Or maybe the picture of them I paint I paint too well And though afraid, they still adjust themselves As they put me back on the shelf, yeah [Chorus] Listen, listen, listen, ah-ah-ah Listen, listen, listen, ah Listen, listen, listen, ah Yeah, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dow
