I've listened to preachers And teachers again But they lie Allowing the demons And devils to rule My insides Always hearing half truths Of what I've been through Manifested in what has become I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now Oh and maybe it'd be better If their children Weren't born in this town I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now, oh now The wars that my brothers Are fighting, as if in gods name All the tree huggers Sitting at home They are protected in vain You'd see choking on spoons If the k**ers came soon My downfall, perfect alibi I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now Oh and maybe it'd be better If their children Weren't born in this town I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now Oh but it's all over now Now that we've made the papers Everyone's listenin' now Now that we've made the papers This bullsh** to you, to me Is bigger than life Still it's a shame that all The jocks and all the preppies
Had to die I bet they're wishing They would've only been listening Oh but it's all over now Now that we've made the papers Everyone's listenin' now Now that we've made the papers Oh but it's too late now Everyone's listenin' now Everyone's listenin' now Now that we've made the papers And this was too much To write in one letter I know, I'm sure This way will be better My words don't have The weight in a letter, now I'm sure this way Will be better So much emulation Just keeps feeding my frustration Youth breed a new nation Of alienation -Solo- Words don't hate Break these chains I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now Oh and maybe it'd be better If their children Weren't born in this town I bet they're wishing They would've only been Listening now Oh but it's all over now Everyone's listening now Oh but it's too late now Now that we've made the papers Everyone's listening now Oh but it's too late now Now that we've made the papers
