Why does everything everything everything
have to have meaning?
Doesn’t anything just exist?
Why does everybody everybody everybody
talk in circles?
I think the point was surely missed.
Drum roll please it’s killing me
Always find out implicitly
Funny how you think you’re foolin’ me
But I’m not deaf I just pay little attention
when I don’t like your intentions
I’m not blind I see more than I care to mention,
played dumb but I’m tired of acting so
No, I don’t need my ears checked
I hear you perfectly well
All the secrets you think I don’t hear you whisper under your breath
but no I’m not deaf
Oh what a gift what treat what a wonderful thing
not to be doing but just to be
if only everyone agreed with me
but all the time while we’re trying to get the most out of life
we love the expectations but can’t get it right
and take it out on yours truly
So drum roll please who’s it gonna be?
Who’ll get hurt you or me?
When you can’t win you don’t compete
But I’m not deaf I just pay little attention
when I don’t like your intentions
I’m not blind I see more than I care to mention,
played dumb but I’m tired of acting so
No, I don’t need my ears checked
I hear you perfectly well
All the secrets you think I don’t hear you whisper under your breath
but no I’m not deaf
And I know you write small
To make your pages hard to read
but lately it’s been like you’re under lock and key
At least I know I can sleep soundly
‘Cause I know what’s not lying and what’s honesty
But I’m not deaf I just pay little attention
when I don’t like your intentions
I’m not blind I see more than I care to mention
But I’m not deaf I just pay little attention
when I don’t like your intentions
I’m not blind I see more than I care to mention,
played dumb but I’m tired of acting so
No, I don’t need my ears checked
I hear you perfectly well
All the secrets you think I don’t hear you whisper under your breath
but no I’m not, no I’m not, no I’m not deaf
