Dr. John - Lissen at Our Prayer lyrics

Everybody has an advisor Who advises the advisor And nobody thinks for their-self Who Thinks for everybody else Gotta listen to learn Learn to listen If you ever want to know all that stuff your missin Listen close take heed You might hear a little something that you need Listen up listen at me Better learn to listen Better learn to listen If your use to someone lookin over your shoulder How you gonna grow any wiser and older Now if you don't listen close at Your teacher how can they understand and reach ya Gotta listen to learn and Learn to listen If you ever wanna know all that stuff your missin Listen close take heed You might hear something you need Listen up listen at me Learn to listen Better learn to listen Facts of life come Down to common sense Now what you don't learn in school you might learn from experience hard knocks could Break a head hard as wood Open mind gonna catch anything It understood Gotta listen to learn Got to learn to listen If you ever wanna know all that stuff your missin Put down that beer, turn off the TV, turn off that FM and the CD better listen at me Better learn to listen Take that cotton out your ear Stuff it in your mouth Crack back, chill out, that's what I'm talkin about Turn down that VH1 and MTV Turn off your Walkman turn down the B E T. Learn to listen You gotta listen to learn Sometime you act like a know it all, better be real
