[Intro]
\nHello?
\n(Is anybody home?)
\nCan you hear me?
\n(Or am I talking to a stone?)<\/p>\n
Wake up!
\n(What’s that you said?)
\nDid you hear a word?
\n(Or are you braindead?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nYou hear the noise but miss the sound
\nYour head is spinning round and round
\nA thousand words are flying by
\nBut not a thought behind your eyes<\/p>\n
You got an answer, got it quick
\nNo time to think, no time to stick
\nTo facts that don’t fit your belief
\nYou’d rather have a little relief<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nHave you heard a word that’s been said
\n(Or are you braindead?)
\nIs it hard to pay attention
\n(When you’ve spent your last sense)<\/p>\n
… no retention
\n(Too dense…)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nScroll on by and carry on
\nAnother headline, another con
\nA catchy phrase, a clever lie
\nA little outrage to satisfy<\/p>\n
No context, no history
\nNo curiosity
\nJust pick a side and take a stand
\nWithout a clue or second hand<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nHave you heard a word that’s been said
\n(Or are you braindead?)
\nIs it hard to pay attention
\n(When you’ve spent your last sense)<\/p>\n
… no retention
\n(Too dense…)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nIt’s not a crime…
\n(To open your mind!)
\nIt’s not a crime…
\n(To learn in time!)<\/p>\n
Don’t confuse…
\n(Noise with news!)
\nThe truth won’t bend
\nTo fit your views<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n(Think!)
\n(Think again!)
\n(Think!)
\n(Where have you been?)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nHave you heard a word that’s been said
\n(Or are you braindead?)
\nIs it hard to pay attention
\n(When you’ve spent your last sense)
\n… no retention
\n(Too dense…)<\/p>\n
Have you heard a word that’s been said
\n(Don’t leave it all unread!)
\nIs it hard to pay attention
\n(When you’ve lost your comprehension?)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nWake up!
\n(We’re wide awake!)
\nSpeak up!
\n(For goodness’ sake!)<\/p>\n
Think twice!
\n(That would be nice!)
\nUse your head!
\n(You’re not braindead!)<\/p>\n
Have you heard?
\n(How absurd)
\nHave you heard?
\n(A single word?)<\/p>\n
Then think it through…
\n(Before you do!)<\/p>\n
Not braindead…
\n(Just under-read!)<\/p>\n
