A lament for preachers, prophets and other assorted God talkers?

I'm thinking about John the Baptist, Jesus himself,
and any of us who try to point toward God with our words...


Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
When you realize you don't know what you just read
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all
I might as well go up and talk to a wall
'cause all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing I say to myself
Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
It's a sorry state am I all alone
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all...


Missing Persons charted with this one in 1982

Video is here but be advised the singer ain't wearing much.
