Well the senate's in order, they're callin' the roll They want everybody there in body and soul There'll be some agreements, a few contradictions But it really don't matter 'cause nobody listens Well things happen all over like in Harlem and Jersey Well the grown men screamin' like kids in a nursery The words are all different, it's pure repetition But it really don't matter 'cause nobody listens Well this world that we live in is pretty bad off Your mouth opens to speak, you come out with a cough We got us some laws and lots of restrictions But even with night sticks nobody listens Now I have this friend, he speaks all the truth But he's almost in jail 'cause his name's Lenny Bruce He gets up on stage and he speaks of conditions And what do you know now everybody listens Well I've finished my song and I'll be on my way Just a doin' my work and collectin' my pay Traffic will move and the TVs will glisten People just watch, they don't ever listen From Letras Mania
