Deaf Ears

Tell me about your tears, the tears you couldn't cry,
the things you heard then, the reasons why,
the ringing gunshots, the dying mans cry.
You ran away, you chose to fly.

Tell me deaf bastard why you couldn't hear,
lifes pure majesty, those you held dear,
turned your back you ■■■■■■■ queer,
you chose not to see, nor look...nor hear.

I understand, I see, I listen,
the tears on my cheeks that you see glisten...
are real...
for you...
and the others...
The dead sons, the crying mothers,
the dying men in foreign lands....my brothers,
I search for cover...

worried for myself....as ever.

Come now ear....listen to what the world hears,
see what it sees, when it's on its knees,
screaming for love...
one small shove..
in the right direction, help make the connection..
but no deaf ear,
you favour the spear...and the gun...
and the man that's on the run,
and yes deaf ear, you're having fun..
the dead father, the dying son..
you can't hear me...
you just can't hear me can you....

On the pretense that you look after my defense,
you close my mind, make my thoughts condense,
lost my direction, my confidence,
I don't understand, can't see the sense.

You seem hell bent...on your goal.
What is it.... freedom, oil or coal...
I dunno....I really don't know.

Show me now and open my eyes,
tell me the truth was not the lies,
Say you've heard the peoples cries...
so we can all live with love and pride..

Together...
Together together, in harmony..

Eyes that see not and ears so deaf,
A mind of thoughts with thoughts bereft,
A world full of absolute senselessness,
It's my fault, our fault...our carelessness.

We turn full circle now, hear the cheers,
smiles on faces wracked with tears,
Lies told by others to increase my fears,
The truth now falls......
Upon deaf ears...
