Hard of Hearing

Let me tell you how
The man of action
Falls behind
When your centers speak their minds
It takes years off your life
The man who runs the world
Does not give in
To listenin'
To any old contrary noise
He’s hard of hearing
Did anybody hear that?
Oh, I beg your pardon
Didn’t like that sound at all
Everybody knows
The man who works on commission
Is deaf to any contradiction
He’s hard of hearing
Humans have evolved
With new traits
With the sad adaptational advantages
They’re hard of hearing
There I hear it again
Oh, I beg your pardon
Didn’t like that sound at all
Ten thousand filled seats cheered for my twenties when I graced the stage
Then empty rows left room for hopes that I’d improve with age
Now decades later, yellow newspaper proves I’ve had my day
Did you say times have changed?
Hard of hearing
And I won’t hang on your every word anymore, 'cause I’ve grown hard of hearing
I won’t hang on your every word anymore, 'cause I’ve grown hard of hearing
I won’t hang on your every word anymore, 'cause I’ve grown hard of hearing (oo
sha la la la)
I won’t hang on your every word anymore, 'cause I’ve grown hard of hearing (oo
sha la la la)
Grown hard of hearing (oo)
Grown hard of hearing (sha la la la)
Let me tell you how things work now 'cause you’ve grown hard of hearing (oo sha
la la la)
Let me tell you how things work now 'cause you’ve grown hard of hearing (oo sha
la la la)
Let me tell you how things work now 'cause you’ve grown hard of hearing (oo sha
la la la)
Let me tell you how things work now 'cause you’ve grown hard of hearing (oo sha
la la la)
Grown hard of hearing
Oh, you’re still hard of hearing
Woah
You’re still hard of hearing
