Nobody

Nobody, I guess that’s who it is,
Nobody, I wish you were listening.
Cut those puppet strings holding you,
All these years later, isn’t it time to,
Gain strength and stand on your own feet?
You’re held down by greed and jealousy,
And I think you’re old enough by now,
To make up your mind, stand your ground.
A blank stare with no eyes or mouth,
It’s a waste of time telling you how,
To run your life, if you’re oblivious,
To who you are and whatever it is,
That makes you keep running around,
After all these times I’ve shot you down.
Nobody, I adore those bedroom eyes,
Hidden behind a lifetime of lies.
Don’t you think you should give up?
With that past you’ll never find love.
It doesn’t matter if you can seduce,
If your only intention is to be used.
Those lips and those perky breasts,
Will never add up to respect or success.
Keep medicating yourself to stay sane,
All the pills in the world won’t hide pain.
Nobody, I seem to say it so loosely,
Because you are everybody around me.
A billion man march without a cause,
Or a sacred religion without any laws.
Nobody, you are so fucking delusional,
Easily amused and television controlled.
Don’t you know how to speak yourself,
Or all you all brain dead here in hell?
Nobody, don’t you wish you had a name?
I too wish you weren’t all the same.
Nobody, how much cash must I wave,
To make you jump into your own grave?
Do I need to promise you fame or lust?
Or is it only the almighty dollar you trust?
You manufacture the American dream lie,
While watching the non-Americans die.
Nobody, take that shit out of your nose,
And stand up to more than your shadow.
You have the centerpiece of failure and,
You hold onto it like gold in your hand.
Does anything I say to you ever make sense?
Or are you always too wasted to comprehend?
One once said that ignorance is bliss,
But nobody ever mentioned what stupid is.
I’d yell at you but you won’t believe me,
Unless it’s broadcast to you on the TV.
Nobody, you’ll never listen I know,
But at least I can say I told you so.
