Nobody’s Listenin’

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a small, bad world
When your first true breath's your last
And there's a tooth and nail
Down every alley or maybe valley that you pass
But the lies come first
And the truth will always come home last
And all your future's tied up in your past

[Verse 2]
You must have heard about the boy when he cried
He cried wolf once too long
Oh, but the last time that they heard him
Well, he, he told the truth
The last nobody came
'Cause there was nobody listenin' anymore
No, there was nobody listenin' anymore

[Verse 3]
You must have heard of Mr. Pilot, well, he washed his hands
He washed his hands the best he could
After he'd stood up on his soapbox and he
He told the land, "I can't see nothing wrong"
'Cause there was nobody listening
No, there was no...

[Solo]

[Refrain]
Ain't nobody, no, nobody
Ain't nobody, no, nobody

[Verse 4]
Well I can count them on my fingers one by one
One by one down they go
Oh, all these hard luck stories, oh man, oh man
Well, I got problems of my own
'Cause there ain't nobody listenin' anymore
No, there ain't nobody listenin' anymore
No, there ain't nobody listenin' anymore

[Outro]
