Listen Up Lyrics

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

(Repeat from top)

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

YASIR: excellant interpretation, but as in all music it can be tuned into own personal beleif system. i have bipolar disorder and i can relate to it as a bipolar record, it can also by an anti-soverign/government belief, or society in general.

theres so many levels of interprtation its endless

This song is so beautiful. Nothing wrong with being alone. Bloody taxman in a suit who I have to pay. Best part is that little bassline in the chorus.
