lyrics

LISTEN TO THE MAN

We're staying up all night
We'll make it to the morning light
It's alright, we're heading to the finish line
We've got ideas in our minds
And they need some kind of release

Up all night
Don't be afraid to live
Post-sunrise, spending the day in bed
'Cos we're creative types

It doesn't matter if you wanna sleep all day
Mess about all night
It's your life, it's the style
Right?

That's what it's all about

All the lights are out
Bar the one above my head
Listen to the sound of my thoughts
It's a symphony

Receiving messages that come through
Waking up in the afternoon
It doesn't matter if I'm tripping over my feet
Moving to my own beat
It's my life, it's my right
Right?

Who cares?
Listen to the man
Who cares?
Listen to the man who cares
Listen to the man who cares
