Are You Listening?

Our conversation piece for the empty handed
 My life has not worked out the way I planned
 Problems have all ended
 The answers all are stranded
 And the crumbling fortune cookie called my life
 I need some space
 With someone I can hold
 Anyone at all
 And lock ourselves inside
 Things will never change
 'Cause no on has
 Meaning for words for long to fizz
 Better be brave
 'Cause no one cares
 Are you listening, listening
 Drunk and standing still as another year ends
 Green to red to brown to white and brown to green again
 Epidemics have demanded
 All solutions be abandoned
 And Hollywood's fighting for the rights
 To make the film
 And media will all inflate
 And critics are sure to hate
 And I'm outside waiting in line
 Things will never change
 'Cause no one has
 Meaning for words for long to fizz
 Better be brave
 'Cause no one cares
 Are you listening, listening
 The sun surrounds
 Let's do the drill
 I need some space
 Where I can shed this skin
 And turn my outsides in
 And lock myself inside
 Things will never change
 'Cause no one has
 Meaning for words for long to fizz
 Better be brave
 'Cause no one cares
 Are you listening, listening
 Are you there
 Are you there
 Are you there
 Are you there
 Are you listening, listening
