Lyrics
Listen to the birds/ listen to the trees
Listen to the music/ in the sound hole at my knee
Listen to the wind/ listen to the breeze
Listen to your heart/ and wear it on your sleeve
CHORUS: Just don’t believe x4
Hear the dogs of war/ knocking at your door
They don’t even know/ what they are fighting for
They will try to tell you/ God is on their side
But they cannot tell you/ why you have to die
CHORUS: Don’t believe x4
They will try to tell you/ peace is just a joke
Then they stand around/ while the world goes up in smoke
They pollute the earth/ and pollute the air
Then they have the nerve/ to say they really care
CHORUS: Don’t believe x4
Money doesn’t talk/ it screams and it can shout
But it cannot tell you/ what your life’s about
So listen to the wind/ listen to the breeze
Listen to your heart/ and wear it on your sleeve
CHORUS: Just don’t believe x4
Don’t believe x4
