You can tell me how to do it your way
You can persuade me all you like
But I’m not gonna listen to a thing that you say
I’m gonna do it the way I’ve always done it
You can tell me what to think
You can tell me how to live
Or what to believe
Until your throat runs dry
But I don’t care
‘Cause I’m not listening
To a thing that you say
You’re talking to a brick wall
You can tell me when I must do what
You can persuade me all you like
But I must warn you that I’m not listening to you
I’m gonna make my own rules like I always have
You can tell me what to think
You can tell me how to live
Or what to believe
Until your throat runs dry
But I don’t care
‘Cause I’m not listening
To a thing that you say
You’re talking to a brick wall
