| Open your eyes
|
| Close your ears
|
| Close your ears
|
| Open your eyes
|
| Listen to what you see
|
| You are blind to what you hear
|
| Listen to what you see
|
| Do not fear the truth beneath
|
| Reach for roots beneath the trees
|
| Listen to the words you seek
|
| Don’t listen to a word they say
|
| Do not listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| Do not listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| People are people we live for our own
|
| Live how you think not by what you’ve been told
|
| I’ve been a fool
|
| Oh I’ve been a fool
|
| Walking the line with both of my eyes shut
|
| And I’m begging you
|
| Oh I’m begging you
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| This world is full of strangers
|
| This world is full of hypocrites
|
| Scratching for their winnings
|
| At least I am one to admit
|
| Oh born in a world relying on gold
|
| I’ve yet to find someone under control
|
| But people are people and we live for our own
|
| Live how you think not by what you’ve been told
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard (4x)
|
| The flag waves up above you
|
| For liberty and freedom
|
| And fighting for your nation
|
| Killing a wife’s, daughter’s, husband’s, son
|
| And your told
|
| That you’re being attacked
|
| By terrorist invasions
|
| But over and over and over again
|
| It is you who points the gun
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard (4x)
|
| If you close your eyes right now
|
| Try to seek a vision you can listen to
|
| A vision of collisions of what you know is true
|
| You can do what you pursue if you only try to
|
| To open your eyes
|
| And listen to the visions colliding with collisions
|
| Collisions on a mission
|
| Risen from what you’ve listened to
|
| Listen to
|
| No
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard
|
| Unless
|
| Unless the word that you’ve heard is a word that you said
|
| Close your ears to words from out
|
| Unless the word came out your head
|
| Or the word was built with your hands
|
| Close your soul to a voice of a man from a non distant land Cause that man has
|
| a plan to put bullets through your stand
|
| Do you stand under this
|
| Or
|
| Do you stand over this
|
| Do you over stand me
|
| You must not be listening
|
| Its O.K. |
| I understand
|
| Why
|
| We
|
| No he
|
| Told you
|
| But Do
|
| If you have the words inside your self
|
| Then
|
| Listen to the words you hear
|
| Listen to the words you say
|
| Listen to the words you say
|
| Listen to the words you say |
