Cover Your Ears

from Diary of a Snowflake by Donal Hinely

/

lyrics

Cover your ears some things can’t be unheard
big men with little words
thuggish and uncouth
polluting the air with a hateful refrain
a carnival of pain
laughing at the truth

chorus)
Cover your ears my little one
don’t you listen to his lies
Cover your ears my little one
but don’t you close your eyes

Cover your ears it’s a poisonous song
if you sing along
you’re just being used
Cause he’ll start the fire
that burns this house down
That match happy clown
don’t care nothing for you

chorus)
Cover your ears my little one
don’t you listen to his lies
Cover your ears my little one
but don’t you close your eyes

Cover your ears, real men don’t talk that way
only cowards with no shame
bullies and thieves
Listen to your heart, let your love overflow
’til this mad circus show
packs up and leaves

chorus)
Cover your ears my little one
don’t you listen to his lies
Cover your ears my little one
but don’t you close your eyes
Don't you close your eyes
