People Only Listen When It Looks Good

Check my phone, all I see are made up faces, perfect bodies And a few thousand likes on a picture of somebody Dressed up in designer 'Cause when you look good people buy your message Forget your truth, forget your charities We're busy worshipping celebrities And spending all our time and cash trying to keep up with Kardashians And listening to music about girls and getting wasted So why are the people being heard Always the people with the emptiest words And nothing, nothing to say 'Cause there is wisdom that can change the world And truth that takes a lifetime to learn In the voices, the voices that aren't being heard 'Cause people only listen when it looks good Yeah these songs I write aren't hits but they sure as hell are honest And I'm struggling to have my words listened to or noticed 'Cause I won't sell my soul And I don't wanna take my clothes off And if Jesus did come back I think he'd probably have to have A pretty face, a pretty car, a pretty Instagram at that Just to get some damn attention To get everyone to listen So why are the people being heard Always the people with the emptiest words And nothing, nothing to say 'Cause there is wisdom that can change the world And truth that takes a lifetime to learn In the voices, the voices that aren't being heard 'Cause people only listen when it looks good
