[Verse 1]
You're talking on the TV, every single day
Making stupid gestures, nothing much to say
Deny responsibility, find someone to blame
When it comes right down to it you're all the fuckin' same

[Chorus]
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, to the ministry of fools

[Verse 2]
We listen to your promises, they're just a pack of lies
Maneuvering your followers to draw your battle lines
You don't admit to anything, you think you'll never fall
But come the revolution you'll be first against the wall

[Chorus]
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, to the ministry of fools

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You're talking on the TV, every single day
Making stupid gestures, nothing much to say
We listen to your promises, they're just a pack of lies
Maneuvering your followers, you draw your battle lines

[Chorus]
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, to the ministry of fools

[Outro]
We're not listening
To the ministry of fools (the ministry of fools)
We're not listening (we're not listening)
We're not listening
To the ministry of fools (to the ministry of fools)
We're not listening
(To the ministry)
We're not listening
We're not listening (we're not listening)
Ministry of fools (ministry of fools)
We're not listening to the ministry of fools (We're not listening to the ministry of fools)
