'Cause I’ve stopped listening
I can’t hear a thing
I’m a tired old metaphor
I’m afraid I might tell me something
I can’t hear a thing
Since I was born
'Cause I’ve stopped listening
'Cause I’ve stopped listening
If you lived here, you’d be home by now
All the fun that the law allows
I’m a public embarrassment
You’d be home now with me
For everything I never meant
'Cause I’ve stopped listening
Every morning
For everything you can’t afford
If you still lived here
I’m a bottle of diet poison
I can’t hear a thing
I can’t hear a thing
Come on over, I’ll show you how
I’m a walking advertisement
I’m the shadow of every doubt
All the fun but with half the meaning
I can’t hear a thing
And I’m the product the song’s about to be
And everything you can’t afford to be
And everything I never meant to be
I’m the product the song’s about
And see my face for the horns
It’s been hard to look in the mirror
I’m the reason I don’t go out
