lyrics

If I write the words down will you sing it, like you care, like you mean it?
How do you feel about it now, do you think you know what I'm on about?

If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.
I'm not looking for a universal truth, I'm just trying to cut through, all the rhyming schemes and plastic dreams.
If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.

They want it to be didactic, only if my thoughts are redacted.
Oh it's just a habit, that's how they sell it.
If you don't want a revolution, don't spin the record.
Don't make this arrow, a thorn.

If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.
I'm not looking for a universal truth, I'm just trying to cut through, all the rhyming schemes and plastic dreams.
If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.

It hurts a little to pass the mic, I'll stand at the back.
Someone ought to hear it, if I'm just the messenger.
Don't shoot me down, don't shoot me down.

If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.
I'm not looking for a universal truth, I'm just trying to cut through, all the rhyming schemes and plastic dreams.
If they won't listen to me, they might listen to you.
