Hand Signs - Listen Lyrics

Chit-chatting through the town
How fast words get around
It's kinda crazy to see

Did you hear this about them
My only question from then
Is what the hell
Does that have to do with me

No one bites their tongue
They all just take the words and run
All this gossip isn't fun
I can't be the only one

I love living in the city
But I hate all the noise
And I hate raising my voice
But no one listens

They all smile
When they speak
But to get what they mean
You gotta listen

Keep it simple
Keep it neat
Every conversation brief
Speak soft

Cause your business is gold
'Nother story to be told
Cut it off

This whole towns got an ear
For the next piece of dirt
And they really don't care
About what it could be worth

It's just not worth the time
I think I'm losing my mind

I love living in the city
But I hate all the noise
And I hate raising my voice
But no one listens

They all smile
When they speak
But to get what they mean
You gotta listen

If it's about someone else
You can keep it to yourself
I won't listen

Feels like knives at your throat
All these pens taking notes
They all listen

Listen
They all listen
Listen
They all listen
Listen
They all listen
Listen
They all listen

I love living in the city
But I hate all the noise
And I hate raising my voice
But no one listens

They all smile
When they speak
But to get what they mean
You gotta listen

If it's about someone else
You can keep it to yourself
I won't listen

Feels like knives at your throat
All these pens taking notes
They all listen
