The Lyrics
Don't you think pop stars are a little too overrated?
They got something they all know it,
They won't talk too much about it
Ain't worth nothing, all the time,
Somehow we'll get into it
Listen, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
They have, somehow, messages must have
Hypnotized you around some
Tell me why you want to hear them,
With nothing to rely upon
Honey, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
No baby, you don't have to listen to celebrities
Baby, they ain't always worse
I'm sure a lot of other people they've learned
Right now they ain't weird to you
It's one of those things you got to see if they're true
They have, somehow, messages must have
Hypnotized you around some
Tell me why you want to hear them,
With nothing to rely upon
Honey, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
No, you don't have to listen to celebrities
Baby, you don't have to listen to celebrities
They won't talk too much about it
Ain't worth nothing, all the time,
Somehow we'll get into it
Listen, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
They have, somehow, messages must have
Hypnotized you around some
Tell me why you want to hear them,
With nothing to rely upon
Honey, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
No baby, you don't have to listen to celebrities
Baby, they ain't always worse
I'm sure a lot of other people they've learned
Right now they ain't weird to you
It's one of those things you got to see if they're true
They have, somehow, messages must have
Hypnotized you around some
Tell me why you want to hear them,
With nothing to rely upon
Honey, they don't really care about me
Baby, it's like listening to a tree
You see you don't have to listen to celebrities
No, you don't have to listen to celebrities
Baby, you don't have to listen to celebrities
