headphones on

I've got my headphones on

I've got them turned up loud

I'm in my own little world

and you are not allowed

I've got nothing but noise

turned up to ten

so I can't hear you

you are not my friend

I've got my headphones on

your voice can't find my ears

I'm busy ignoring you

I've made it my career

your mouth is wide open

but I can't hear your words

I bet my avoidance of you

must leave you disturbed

          the sound of your breathing

          now has passed and gone

          so now I'm getting even

          I've got my headphones on

I've got my headphones on

I'm no longer prone to violence

because when it comes to you

all I hear is silence

so you can go your way

and I will follow mine

everything comes to an end

in its own sweet time

          the sound of your breathing

          now has passed and gone

          so now I'm getting even

          I've got my headphones on
