about

I think there is a condition. It is when someone can't shut up. It is as if they'd disappear the second they stop talking. I'm never sure whether I should be rude and turn around and walk away, or be patient and forgiving. There have been times when I've seen someone, along, at the end of a long hallway, just blathering away as they approach. I've backed up as gracefully as possible so that I don't engage. Don't encourage. They drive me absolutely NUTS!

lyrics

NOBODY LISTENZ

Nobody listenz
They got too much t say
They're scared if they stop talking
That you
Might go
Away

Tik tik tik...tok

Talkin in the hallway
In the bathroom
Talkin on the phone
Talkin when they smoke outside
Jes trying
Not t be
Alone

Tik tik tik...tok

Nobody listenz
Shut up
They got too much t say
Injustice collectors
Having
A real
Shut up
Bad day
You would not believe

Tik tik tik...tok

Could they be quiet
N listen t someone else
Long enough t know them
N forget
About
Themselves

Tik tik tik...tok

Nobody listenz
Nobody
They got too much t say
They're scared if they stop talking
That you
It’s all about you
Might just go
Away

Tik tik tik...tok
Tik tik tik...tok
Tik tik tik...tok

Can I borrow 5 bucks
