Shut up and Listen Lyrics

Well, I'm just standing on the corner on the top of my soapbox
Watching the people walk by
Some think I'm a loser, I'm a crazy man
I can tell by the look in their eyes
I may be weak, I may be meek, I always turn the other cheek
I'll never be anybody's fool
It's not a joke to have a toke, why do you think they call it dope?
That hooch won't make you act cool

You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say

Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen

Well, now you made a real mess of your life
So don't you bother come crying to me
You may not really care about a better life
But Jesus still hung for you on that tree
I've told you once, I've told you twice, you've never taken my advice
Always seemed to jump the gun
I'm not a loser or a groover, I'm not a dime store boozer
But I still remember how to have clean fun

You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say

Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen

You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say
You never listened to a word I say

Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
Shut up and listen
