Am         E/B                    Am
Why is it difficult to get things done 
        Am       E/B                 Am  
In the age of computers and communication 
     C          D           Dm            Am
The powers that be say they can't keep a hold 
      Am           E/B                  Am
Of a world that is escalating out of control 

1
Out on the street there's a war going on 
And everything's going wild 
But a bureaucrat says we've lost your file 
So we'll put you on hold for a while

'Cos they ain't gonna listen to me

And they ain't gonna listen to me

The voice on the 'phone says we'll get right back 
         Am           Am/G          D/F#   F
But they say all the computers are down 
         Am        Am/G         D/F#       F 
And the chief prosecutor had to go out of town 
Dm         /C  Dm         /C   Dm        /C      Dm
No one listen, nobody listens, no one listens to me

Now we've got you in the system 
Somebody's gonna get back to you 
Then in a few more years we'll give your case a review 
No one listen, nobody listens, they ain't gonna listen to me 

2
Hey man, call the Government 
Write to City Hall, United Nations 
Tell the preacher at the missionary 
'Cos they ain't gonna listen to me 

2
Blame the hurricane, blame the drug trade, the economy 
Blame the ghettos in the land of the free 
'Cos they ain't gonna listen to me 
They ain't gonna listen to me

Am

1
Everybody knows it's a cryin' shame 
How the little guy gets kicked around 
Everybody I talk to agrees that if you 
wanna get heard it's connections that count. 

1
I was minding my business when a bad situation 
occurred, shock, horror and fear 
Now the outcome is still unclear 
Hey man, I am the innocent party here 

2
They ain't gonna listen to me 

2
Tell the National Guard 
Tell the talk show on the TV 
Tell the winos in the old man bar 
?Cos they ain't gonna listen to me 

Now I'm stuck here in their system 
They ain't gonna listen, nobody listens, 
They ain't gonna listen to me
