"What's the matter, Wong-Chu? Why do you stare? Have you never seen an iron man before?"

I'm not listening, not any more
The more I learn the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not any more
The more I hear the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not any more, no

'Cause you gotta be bigger
And be faster
And be stronger
If you're gonna survive any longer
And this lifetime had better be the right time
'Cause the first time might be your last time
Am I a failure
If I've got nothing to lose?
No I'm not a failure
I've got something to prove

I'm not listening, not any more
The more I learn the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not any more
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 your middleman
So fuck you I'll make my own plans
And I've got respect
And I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure
If I've got nothing to lose?
No I'm not a failure
I've got something to prove

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

I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score

If not me then who?
If not now then when?
If not me then who?
If not now then when?

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

I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score
I told you before I won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score

Shut it off, put it out
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, chuck it out
Burn it up, blow it up
Right now
