Odds Are You Listening Lyrics

Driving horse, staring, utter boredom

Are you really listening?

Say "yes" and "no" in all the right places

now your eyes are blistering

Are these things of fascination

Or are they just chatter?

Will you have to slap my face

To find out that you matter?

I saw fighting on the sidewalk

she was down and crying

As he punched her in the mouth

Her fingers white with prying

Then he took his crash helmet

And smashed in her friend's cheekbone

Yes yoou can stop I think she's heard you

I think she's got your message

Though it's not the friendliest of conversation

Violence demands your participation

and now you7re watching as it sweeps the nation under
