Name: No One Is Listening
Duration: P00H03M34S
Description: Seriously. That "dance like no one's watching" stuff is twaddle. Negative bullshit that's had a positive spin placed on is still the same negative bullshit that you're somehow not allowed to be angry about anymore. Dance like people are watching. But realize it's narcissistic to expect they are.

Seriously. That "dance like no one's watching" stuff is twaddle. Negative bullshit that's had a positive spin placed on is still the same negative bullshit that you're somehow not allowed to be angry about anymore. Dance like people are watching. But realize it's narcissistic to expect they are.

lyrics

They say dance like no one’s watching
But someone always is watching
They’re judging your moves
They’re laughing their laughs
They’re watching you trip
And fall on your ass

They say love like you’ve never been hurt
But someone always gets hurt
And it’s always been you
Not the other way round
You don’t do the turning
You do the getting turned down

They say sing like no one is listening
But you know no one really wants to
Hear you falling off key
Hear you falling off key

They say live like it’s heaven
live like it’s heaven on this earth
but you don’t believe in heaven
You don’t believe in hell
Sometimes you don’t believe
In this world as well

you don’t believe in heaven
You don’t believe in hell
Sometimes you don’t believe
In this world as well

The world is falling off key
And no one’s listening
The world is falling off key
And no one’s listening
no one’s listening
no one’s listening
