about
Donald Trump said, “Don’t believe the critics unless they love your work”. Condescending haters, critics, holier-than-thou people who dispenses unsolicited advice like it is “THE WORD”—for your own sanity—must be treated with indifference. Don’t give them permission to make you feel bad—instead, write a hit song about it! Njel de Mesa wields his mighty pen again and swats away the people who annoy him the most with “Fingers In My Ears (That Lala Lala Song)” featuring the optimism and youthful voices of Cheska Ortega & Brio (in the hauntingly familiar stylings of Justin Bieber of so many years back).
Do the dougie to this chillout stress-freeing tune that will have you singin’ “Lalalalala” to the next drivelling person who tries to embarrass you publicly or put you down with their unfair criticism. Can you ever win an argument with stupid people or people who think they’re never wrong? No. So put this track in your iPod or music player’s playlist so when another one of ‘em comes along... you know which track to play with the volume cranked on your headphones.
lyrics
Chorus
OH WHATEVER YOU SAY, SAY, SAY
AND HOWEVER YOU
MAKE ME FEEL, HEY
I WON’T LET YOU GET TO ME
NO, I WON’T LET YOU GET TO ME
I’D PUT MY FINGERS IN MY EAR AND SING,
“LALALALALALALA”
I’D PUT MY FINGERS IN MY EAR
AND SING,
“LALALALALALALA”
MY EAR AND SING,
“LALALALALALALA”
I’D PUT MY FINGERS IN MY EAR
AND SING,
“LALALALALALALA”
YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER
THAN ME
SMARTER THAN ME
OR WAY MORE COOLER THAN ME
I DON’T WANNA WASTE MY TIME
ARGUING WITH YOU I’M FINE
‘COZ YOU’RE NOT
BETTER THAN ME
OR SMARTER THAN
ME
AND OBVIOUSLY
YOU’LL NEVER EVER BE ME
BUT GO AHEAD COMPLAIN & WHINE
JUST DON’T DO IT ON MY TIME
Refrain
IT’S MIND OVER MATTER
IF I DON’T MIND YOU
YOU DON’T MATTER
ALL THAT YAPPIN’ & TALKIN’ TRASH
I’M GONNA
LEAVE YOU OUT WITH MY STINKIN’ TRASH
SO JUST GO AWAY
JUST GO AWAY
JUST GO AWAY
WOULD YOU GO AWAY
WOULD YOU GO AWAY
NOW

Repeat Chorus
Rap

BUT YOU’RE BUSY LISTENIN’

NARCISSISTIC MOUTH

YOU’RE MAKIN’ ME SICK QUICK
IT’S RHETORIC
BUT YOU’RE MAKIN’ IT SOUND
LIKE YOU ARE WAVIN’ YOUR STICK
AND HAVE A LICENSE TO NITPICK

SOUNDIN’ LIKE A SCREECHER CREATURE
ON A FULL-LENGTH HORROR PICTURE FEATURE

Refrain
IT’S MIND OVER MATTER
(TELL YOU WHAT

IF I DON’T MIND YOU

(TELL YOU WHAT
I’M GONNA DO TO YOU)
ALL THAT YAPPIN’ & TALKIN’ TRASH
I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU OUT WITH MY STINKIN’ TRASH
SO JUST GO AWAY
