  • I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I learn, the more I ignore
    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I hear, the more I ignore
    No I'm not listening, not anymore, No

    'Cause you gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
    If your gonna survive any longer
    In this lifetime, it better be the right time
    The first time might be your last time
    Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
    No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I learn, the more I ignore
    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

    'Cause I've lost my innocence
    And I'm a stranger, A life changer
    I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
    I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
    Because I'm not afraid to derail
    I won't get in line or be a middle man
    So fuck you I'll make my own plan
    And I got respect and I don't neglect
    The people that I really care to protect
    Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
    No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I learn, the more I ignore
    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

    I told you before, won't listen anymore
    I told you before, lets settle the score
    I told you before, won't listen anymore
    I told you before, lets settle the score

    If not them then who?
    If not now then when?

    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I learn, the more I ignore
    I'm not listening, not anymore
    The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore

    I told you before, won't listen anymore
    I told you before, lets settle the score
    I told you before, won't listen anymore
    I told you before, lets settle the score

    Set it off right now
    Blow it up, set it off
    Fuck it up, set it off
    Blow it up, Blow it up right now Writer/s: DAVID BUCKNER, JACOBY SHADDIX, JEFF HORTON, TOBIN ESPERANCE
