Lyrics Listen (Live At Park West / 1997) - Collective Soul

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

Hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, you're thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey, you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul

When the bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding it harder to digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere

Hey, you now hunger
You're feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey, you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness

And your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
When you're clothing yourself
With the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere

You crucify all honesty
No signs you see, do you believe?
And all your words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting to the bitter end
If only your heart could open
Open, yeah

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere
