you try to pay me attention
but i don't know what you mean
you try to pay me attention
while i'm inside a dream
i don't have an opinion
i've got no point of view
you try to pay me attention
but there's nothing i can do

so won't you lend me your ears
cause i can't hear nothing
my mind is so full of fear
and i can't hear nothing
you better make up your mind
cause i don't wanna play it safe
no i don't wanna play it safe

you say that you've got problems
i think i've heard it before
you say that you try to solve them
but i can't see what for
well can you give me a reason
to make me listen to you
you say that you've got problems
but there's nothing i can do

so won't you lend me your eyes
cause i can't see nothing
i ain't got no advice
cause i can't see nothing
it's time to make up your mind
cause i don't wanna play it safe
no, i don't wanna play it safe
i don't wanna play it safe
no!
don't wanna play it safe

you try to pay me attention
but i can't hear you call
well my words ain't worth to be mentioned
when you push me against the wall

so won't you lend me your mouth
cause i can't say nothing
well, i'm so full of doubt
and i can't say nothing
so won't you lend me your ears
cause i can't hear nothing
i'm so full of fear
and i can't hear nothing
