Don't Listen to a Word You've Heard - Justin Nozuka

Open your eyes

Close your ears

Close your ears

Open your eyes

Listen to what you see

You are blind to what you hear

Listen to what you see

Do not fear the truth beneath

Reach for roots beneath the trees

Listen to the words you seek

Don’t listen to a word they say

Do not listen to a word you’ve heard

Do not listen to a word you’ve heard

People are people we live for our own

Live how you think not by what you’ve been told

I’ve been a fool

Oh I’ve been a fool

Walking the line with both of my eyes shut

And I’m begging you

Oh I’m begging you

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard

This world is full of strangers

This world is full of hypocrites

Scratching for their winnings

At least I am one to admit

Oh born in a world relying on gold

I’ve yet to find someone under control

But people are people and we live for our own

Live how you think not by what you’ve been told

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard (4x)

The flag waves up above you

For liberty and freedom

And fighting for your nation

Killing a wife’s, daughter’s, husband’s, son

And your told

That you’re being attacked

By terrorist invasions

But over and over and over again

It is you who points the gun

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard (4x)

If you close your eyes right now

Try to seek a vision you can listen to

A vision of collisions of what you know is true

You can do what you pursue if you only try to

To open your eyes

And listen to the visions colliding with collisions

Collisions on a mission

Risen from what you’ve listened to

Listen to

No

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard

Don’t listen to a word you’ve heard

Unless

Unless the word that you’ve heard is a word that you said

Close your ears to words from out

Unless the word came out your head

Or the word was built with your hands

Close your soul to a voice of a man from a non distant land Cause that man has

a plan to put bullets through your stand

Do you stand under this

Or

Do you stand over this

Do you over stand me

You must not be listening

Its O.K.

I understand

Why

We

No he

Told you

But Do

If you have the words inside your self

Then

Listen to the words you hear

Listen to the words you say

Listen to the words you say

Listen to the words you say
