[Verse]
They would come from miles away
Just to hear me talk about the wonders of the universe
That was in the olden days
Now they wouldn't give a damn if I were in a hearse

[Chorus]
'Cause love's been taken away
Now no one listens to me
It's so predictable
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Verse 2]
Now I do the rounds each day
Spouting off about the wondrous nature of our Earth
Just to earn a meager wage
To maintain a place to stay and all its maintenance

[Chorus]
But love's been taken away
Now no one listens to me
It's so predictable
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Bridge]
Back when I was young
They would listen
Back when I was young
They'd hang on my every word
Back when I was young
I was loved and adored
Back when I was young
I was love
Back when I was young
They would listen
Back when I was young
They'd hang on my every word
Back when I was young
I was loved and adored
Back when I was young
I was love
[Chorus]
Love's been taken away
Now no one listens to me
It's so predictable
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Outro]
'Cause love's been taken away
Now no one listens to me
It's so predictable
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
