"Listen" lyrics
"Listen"
What's it like to play a part?
What's it like to have a wooden heart?
Well, every word you say is so rehearsed
You think your clothes, your actions, control the universe
Well listen, what you'd better do
Well listen darling, change your head
Well listen, or there's naught they can do
Listen to the ones who will change our world
Well, you're the face upon a playing card
A colored, painted, cold visage
You're just a pawn of somebody, somewhere
Oh well, the only trouble is you're gonna get nowhere
Well listen, what you'd better do
Well listen darling, change your head
Well listen, or there's naught they can do
Listen to the ones who will change our world
What's it like to play a part? (art-art-art-art)
Got a wooden heart
Just a puppet on a string
A nothing, no one, no style
Just play a part
Just a pawn of someone, somewhere
And you'll get nowhere
Well listen, what you'd better do
Well listen darling, change your head
Well listen, or there's naught they can do
Listen to the ones who will change our world
Gonna change our world
Gonna change our world

And make 'em say they wanna stay a year

Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice
