| 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 |
