Nobody’s Listening Lyrics by Tom Rhodes

With or Without

2014

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a friend in East Oakland
She’s got a problem with cocaine
It leaves her restless in the evening
With far too much to say

[Chorus]
But nobody’s listening, baby
Nobody seems to care anymore
Nobody’s listening, baby
'Cause the sound you make
Heard it all before
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I’ve got a buddy with a fever
And he sweats and shakes and cries
He gets up early in the morning
And he writes the things that he sees at night

[Chorus]
But nobody’s listening, baby
Nobody seems to care anymore
Nobody’s listening, baby
'Cause the sound you make
They heard it all before
Ooh, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh but I love them still
And I see their hearts burn like a photograph
'Cause nothing’s new and nothing’s ever real
And there is no future in the past
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 3]
I’ve got a brother down in Texas
And he’s scared to sing his heart
But how I wish that I could hold him and tell him, boy
Singing out? That’s the easy part

[Chorus]
But nobody’s listening, baby
Nobody seems to care anymore
Nobody’s listening, baby
'Cause the sound you make
Yeah, 'cause the sound you make
Ooh, the sound you make
They heard it all before
And, ooh, yeah
