Talk to the people, but they just don’t listen, no.
Talk to the people, but they just don’t listen.
Talk to the people, but they just don’t listen, no.
Talk to the people …

Why won’t they listen to rhyme or reason?

We see their faces and we’re just tryin’ to reach them.
When we …

Why won’t they listen to what we’re sayin’?
Please won’t you help us, it’s way past time that you do?
Your future’s dyin’ right before your faces.
The Lord above will put us all in our places.
When we …

But they just don’t listen, no.

But they just don’t listen, no.
