Naked Listeners

They only hear you when you speaking lewd
They only hear you when you show them nudes
They never wanna hear you when it’s about the people
Never wanna hear you when it’s about the country
Never wanna hear you
Never wanna hear you

I swear I have no panties on!
Standing on the podium preaching about unification
Talking about how the masses have been destabilized
And how we need to quarantine the brilliant to enforce a revolution
And somehow, nobody hears a thing
But let me say that I swear I have no panties on
And suddenly, I have your attention

I was born in a generation where many of us live in a nonchalant mode
Living life in the go-slow speed section
Because we consider our personal freedom as untouchable entities
The average boy is walking in his peers shadow
Waiting for an opportunity to say, “Man, that’s dope!”
The average girl is wondering how cute she looks
In her tall boyfriend’s white tees
And the youth don’t care about mass unemployment
Or cares to know what GDP stands for
Because he’s driving in a car mother got him
And he’s mooching off father’s hard earned sweat
And he says he likes his women intelligent
But befuddle his mind and he’ll tell you
“Mami, I just want to see some ass” – that’s what he’s here for
And she wants a smart boy
But not for what she can learn from him
Only for the wealth he can create – man’s favourite pet

And you want to just crash their heads together
And subject them to their inner feelings
Cause them to feel inside the structure
Of their paralyzed thoughts
To question the identification details of their minds;
Are they citizens of their own freaking minds?
Not hanging by society’s puppet strings
Being actively enslaved by a system under the guise of education?
Not fueling a system that has no hope of reaping benefits?
And living their life such that society has to live up to their standard?
Silence
Nobody hears a thing
Nobody speaks a word
I said I had no panties on
And everybody found their voice

They only hear you when you speaking lewd
They only hear you when you show them nudes
They never wanna hear you when it’s about the people
Never wanna hear you when it’s about the country
Never wanna hear you
Never wanna hear you
