Will I Be Ignored By The Lord?
Beck · Other Songs - Beck
Lot's of people sayin' I looked like a dead man
but to them there was no kindness
And so I came into the world with my hands in my jacket
Made a whole lotta racket
Couldn't speak, but I could beat on a stick
O when that aeroplane comes with the lord
Will I be ignored
Will I be ignored by the lord
Will I be ignored
there was a woman, she looked on me sweetly
I needed her life to be with mine
But never will they meet
No, never will they see
These two vines will twist away, away
Will I be ignored by the lord
Will I be ignored by the lord, by the lord
What for?
I may travel on one leg
My breakfast will be unpaid
And the flapjacks will flap back off the ceiling onto my head
Will I be ignored
Will I be ignored by the lord
Will I be ignored
Will I Be Ignored By The Lord?

While his catalog spans numerous styles, this piece underscores his enduring commitment to artistic evolution and emotional resonance, inviting listeners to engage with the nuanced layers of his musical narrative without relying on conventional pop structures.
