Nobody's Listenin'

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

You must have heard about the boy when he cried wolf
He cried wolf once too long
But the last time that they heard him he told the truth
The last time nobody came
'Cause there was nobody listening anymore
No, there was nobody listening anymore
You must have heard of Mr. Pilot
He washed his hands
He washed his hands the best he could
After he stood up on his soap box and he, he told the land
"I can't see nothing wrong"
'Cause there was nobody listening anymore
No, there was no...
Ain't nobody, no nobody
Ain't nobody, no nobody
Well, I can count them on my fingers
One by one
One by one down they go
All these hard luck stories
Oh man, oh man
Well, I've got problems of my own
'Cause there ain't nobody listening anymore
No, there ain't nobody listening anymore
No, there ain't nobody listening anymore
No, there was nobody listening anymore
Ain't nobody, no nobody
Ain't nobody, no nobody
