Nobody's listening to a word I say
What on earth do they come here for
Surely not to hear me play
It can't be the prices of this flat beer
And it can't be the people
'Cos no nice people come here
Nobody's listening to a single line
I could be a mass murderer
Confessing a crime
But they wouldn't hear me
If I yelled fire!
It's like playing to cavemen
But a caveman's IQ is much higher
Oh the things we must do
Though it hurts us inside
Learn to swallow your pride
Good things will be yours in time
Article clerks and insolent jerks
They've been here since one
Spend all their pay tryin' to get laid
And this they call fun
But I could be describing
Your girl in bed
Though it's unlikely
'Cos your girl just don't turn my head
Nobody hears and nobody cares
Nobody looks until everyone stares
Then when they're hooked
Boy that's when your phone will start ringing
Until then…
Nobody shines in this cesspool
Until the right people say that it's cool
Then it's; welcome aboard son
We always knew you would make it!
Beauty and youth is your ticket to fame
And you'll be fast-tracked if you play the game
And talent is fine, but if you have none we can fake it
Then when you've given your last pound of flesh
Busted and broke with no fuel in tank
All you will hear with your last dying breath is them singing…
Can you hear it?
La la – la la la la
La de da – la – la la la la
La la – la la la la – la de da
Come on…
La la – la la la la
La de da – la – la la la la
La la – la la la la – la de da
Sing it…
La la – la la la la
La de da – la – la la la la
La de da – la – la la la la la la la – la de da
