Alter Bridge - Pay No Mind Lyrics






A lost soul
A willing hand
A scapegoat
The sacrificial lamb

It's so cold
A one way scam
That takes hold
So devious the plan

But time
It will unravel and expose
Us for the fools we are

We pay no mind
We pay no mind at all
We must be blind
When will this ever stop?

When the last man falls
Who'll be the first to rise and call you out?
Who'll be the first to draw the line?

Indifference
Our lasting curse
Resilience
Your blessing in disguise

The millions
You stand to hurt
Still willing
To stand right by your side

But time
It will unravel and expose
Us for the fools we are

We pay no mind
We pay no mind at all
We must be blind
When will this ever stop?

When the last man falls
Who'll be the first to rise and call you out?
Who'll be the first to draw the line?

You're so entitled since the day that you were born
Still we hear you screaming give me more, give me more
So entitled since the day that you were born
Still we hear you screaming give me more, give me more

So emboldened since the day that we were torn
You got away with murder, I won't let you anymore

We pay no mind
We pay no mind at all

We pay no mind
We pay no mind at all
We must be blind
When will this ever stop?

When the last man falls
Who'll be the first to rise and call you out?
Who'll be the first to draw the line and walk
And make you pay the cost of what you are?
But in the end we'll pay no mind

Alter Bridge Pay No Mind Comments
  1. T.... F....

    I was looking for Madeon, but this is cool too.

  2. h.... f....

    This track caught me off guard. Really love it!

  3. B.... B....

    all their songs sound the same

  4. S.... M....

    Killer Song!!!! I love it!!!! https://youtu.be/nePw13qCoGw

  5. R.... ....

    I think they are back and in a big way! They Rock Hands Down! The Best!

  6. M.... S....

    2 weeks to go, the finally I see AB for the 5th time live in cologne :D 10 years ago KISS said, "you wanted the best, you got the besst" back then I agreed. But NOW, I would yell back ""HELL NO, IF I WANT TO SEE THE BEST I GO TO SEE ALTER BRIDGE, but you guys are nice too" ^^

  7. T.... A....

    I got an ATTENTION ATTENTION ad before this song. It was about 100% worse than this. Not that ATTENTION ATTENTION is a bad song, it is really good. I'm just saying this should have about 100 million views.

    T.... A....

    What's "Attention, Attention?"

  8. J.... S....

    I swear this song about our current political situation. "We must be blind" and "So entitled since the day you burn, still we hear you screaming give me more" and "in the end we pay no mind"

    J.... S....

    @Joe Sorrentino-They are not a Political Band or Religious Band.

    J.... S....

    @nobody nobody Writing on the walls from the last hero album is literally about how people deny climate change

    J.... S....

    @nobody nobody A good portion of 'The Last Hero' is political.

    J.... S....

    @Joe Sorrentino It's "since the day that you were born" and Myles said it was about the financial crisis in '08.

  9. 1.... ....

    These guys rock majestically \m/
    Also the production is out of this world..

  10. G.... ....

    Production sucks. Noisy......too much going on. All sounds like 1 thing. Muddy. Dont like it.

    G.... ....

    Love the song but I agree on the over-compressed production of the album in general

  11. s.... ....

    like =D

  12. T.... ....

    The best of the singles imo. Love the different style, and that two-part chorus is just divine with awesome lyrics.

  13. S.... ....

    This must be one of the best songs i have ever heard... i am really pumped to hear it live in Berlin next month :D

  14. H.... F....

    Me: oh cool alter bridge have a new album I'll check it out later
    YouTube: NO
    Me: fuck you yt

  15. m.... a....

    best band in recent memory, every album they do is awesome

  16. P.... ....

    One of the last bands making actual music today.

  17. n.... n....

    Pay No Mind
    Alter Bridge

    No soul
    No willing hand
    The scapegoat
    The sacrificial lamb

    It's so cold
    A one-way scam
    That takes hold
    So devious, the plan

    But time
    It will unravel and expose
    Us for the fools we are

    We pay no mind
    We pay no mind at all
    We must be blind
    When will this ever stop?
    When the last man falls
    Who'll be the first to rise and call you out?
    Who'll be the first do draw the line?

    Indifference
    Our lasting curse
    Resilience
    Your blessing in disguise

    The millions
    You stand to her
    Still waiting
    To stand right by your side

    But time
    It will unravel and expose
    Us for the fools we are

    We pay no mind
    We pay no mind at all
    We must be blind
    When will this ever stop?
    When the last man falls
    Who'll be the first to rise and call you out?
    Who'll be the first do draw the line?

    So entitled…

    Isn't it "The Millions you stand to hurt, still willing to stand right by your side?"

  18. S.... H....

    Is it just me or does it sound from these songs that Alter Bridge has been reborn? Almost like they’ve had a metamorphosis? I have a feeling that this record will cement them as the true kings of hard rock that they deserve to be!

    S.... H....

    @Sean Hook, they have (reborn). Miles said that he had this calming moment. Mark said it was like a zen or yen moment. They are older and looking at life differently. They took a chance because some fans would like it and some will not. I like the music.

  19. P.... S....

    Why are this songs so fxxvking great?!

  20. R.... H....

    feeling deadmau5 kinda feel

  21. E.... W....

    i want to get a drivers license, a car and a job just to meet these guys its on my bucketlist

  22. A.... P....

    Wohuuuuu 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Perfection

  23. A.... A....

    Could this be AB's first ever disco beat?

  24. M.... M....

    Still we hear you screaming give me more give more

  25. M.... P....

    This tribute to John Carpenter!!! How can these guys have good taste all the time?! Amazing song!!!

    M.... P....

    I'm intrigued.. please explain?

    M.... P....

    ​@Muzikrazy213 The intro is a huge reference to the 80's soundtrack like the ones John Carpenter did himself. Feel free to check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxrIu8lXaVg&list=PL7v_KFM4xhO1JYvZlC1d_cj01sOGls6-5&index=8 or some old James Horner's like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2hgMcsXO-Y&list=PLH9C08qrQ7S5PyMM8mteRNp9a-4VFmUJf&index=7. I heard an interview of Mark confirming his passion for Carpenter's work, which I share :)

    M.... P....

    It reminded me of the theme to Return of the Living Dead. This is possibly my favorite of any of their songs, and that's being compared to Fortress, Cry of Achilles, Addicted to Pain, etc.

    M.... P....

    @Kevin Reed Fully agreed, I was thinking the same this morning!

  26. A.... S....

    This for some reason feels like Dio's jam.

    A.... S....

    Ayush Shrestha Ronnie James Dio?😂

  27. A.... S....

    I just love how youtube pops up alterbridge when you wanna hear some good and actual music.

  28. J.... R....

    I would have loved an actual video for this... Good song!

  29. E.... J....

    But where is the Alterbridge spirit ??? Like in "one day remain" or "Blackbird" albums......??? Between this kind of song and the Tremonti's metal solo music mood (for the other new titles) ...it's weird..

    E.... J....

    Check out dying light, I think you'll find what you're looking for👍

  30. B.... B....

    Seeing the greatest rock band of the 21st century open for a band named after a kitchen appliance for the second time is like watching Led Zeppelin open for Foghat. No offense to Foghat or Skillet, but come on man. When Led Zep wants to jam they call Myles. And when Slash wants to recreate GNR...

  31. B.... S....

    solid track this!

  32. [.... L....

    This straight slaps keep up the good work lads

  33. L.... C....

    So much variety from one band. Not complaining. They're amazing ❤️

  34. H.... H....

    Love it...see you soon in Belgium guys!❤❤🤘🎵🎶🎸🇧🇪

  35. S.... ....

    favourite song so far!

  36. D.... ....

    How fucking amazing is that rotary effect on Myles' voice when he says, "We pay no mind."

    Mind blown! What a treat!

  37. M.... M....

    I hope they never stop making music together. My favorite two bands...Alter Bridge and Tremonti

  38. �.... ....

    Plz Come to KR

  39. J.... D....

    Alter Bridge Rocks !!!! Cant wait to see them live again on Oct 20 in Dallas Tx !!!!

  40. N.... D....

    Was able to go to the AB listening party for "Walk the Sky" earlier this week and listen to the whole album. I can say this thing is going to rock so hard. The guitar solo in the last song will blow your mind. Oct 18 can't get here soon enough!

  41. M.... ....

    3:36 I kinda felt like I was listening to Muse. Those fn vocals

  42. J.... J....

    Humankind wholly would grow exponentially if all people heard their enlightened, love and nonviolent, human fire based lyrical bases. They are profoundly mature, enlightened. Teachers to humanity if given a chance.

  43. R.... G....

    Simply the BEST!

  44. w.... ....

    fantastic band .. everyone should know of Alter Bridge

  45. S.... e....

    Am I the only one to think alter bridge have gone downhill after AB 3?just cant get into the later stuff. Just my opinion!

    S.... e....

    Too much production, not enough raw emotion and instrumentals.

  46. T.... W....

    You know a song kicks ass when there isn’t one negative comment

  47. P.... S....

    I guess this will be first Alter Bridge album i will not buy, turning the wrong corner guys.

  48. D.... f....

    i have pre ordered this album, can,t wait, theyre truly the best band in the world now that b/sabbath have retired.

  49. B.... B....

    Every time I see them they are opening for a lesser band. It's infuriating. It's like watching Led Zeppelin open for Foghat.

  50. B.... ....

    This song need to be one of WWE theme.. it's great and like a fighting song

  51. C.... m....

    😍🤗❤️👏👏👏

  52. D.... C....

  54. W.... W....

    Vyborna skladba, Alter Bridge jako vzdy v minulosti perfektni👍👍👍😊😊😊

  55. A.... G....

    Can someone help me. I have tickets for the walk the sky tour in December( Birmingham) and how will the thing work with the other groups their with or whatever. Is it like the others will do they're acts first then alter bridge comes on to do the mains show? Or are they all together like 'taking turns'. Sorry I dont know much i just really loved Myles I saw slash live earlier this year with him, and then I was on alter bridge spotify and I played wouldnt you rather (obv I had already heard blackbird and words darker then their wings at the royal Albert hall thing) and now I'm in love with pay no mind I think Gatsby what it's called. Just wondering how its gonna work. Sorry for the long comment

    A.... G....

    @ALH GUITAR they each have a time slot to play. This is the link to the site. The time slots have not been listed, yet. They said they will list the times close to the date of the concert.

  58. �.... ....

    THANKYOU

  59. L.... O....

    Thanks to an unkwon god...in this music dark era there always are AB. Genuine music

  60. J.... ....

    "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?"

  61. c.... ....

    That bass groove!

  62. M.... D....

    Alter bridge is one of the most underated bands of all time
    Every member of the band are great at their instrument, Im Looking At You Myles
    They Have made 1 decent 2 Good and 2 Great Albums and this one is probably gonna be up there with fortress and blackbird

  63. A.... ....

    This is my favorite song of the three singles out now.

  64. D.... D....

    Sounds pretty good 🤔😆🤘

  65. X.... ....

    I started thinking about this song earlier today. Hours upon hours I've been hearing nothing but that damned riff in my head and now I have to listen to it again. I'm worried if I should be concerned about my sanity.

    X.... ....

    You only have to worry about your sanity if you hear this song and don't want to listen to it.

  66. D.... D....

    I thought this was going to be a madeon cover lol

  67. E.... S....

    When I listen to Alter Bridge so does the rest of my neighbourhood.

  68. S.... Z....

    Wow this is Great!

  69. H.... C....

    I really love their guitar tone. Thats on another level.

  70. K.... ....

    See you guys September 25th-- so excited. 4th time and they only get better and better.

  71. L.... R....

    Why is no one mentioning how awesome the snare drum sound on this track is?

    L.... R....

    was actually thinking about it. Scott is a great drummer.

  72. J.... s....

    Best bridge evaaaaar

  73. G.... M....

    Fucking hurry up October

  74. j.... b....

    These and Shinedown December at the o2 London it’s doesn’t get better than that I can’t wait,

  75. M.... D....

    This is about Trump, right? Just how show me a leader was during the elections?

  76. L.... ....

    This Band is just brilliant! Why are they so „unknown“ ?

  77. S.... M....

    Fucking excellent band top quality songs why they get no air play on uk radio fuck knows I feel embarrassed being British.Uk radio 🤘🤘🤘🖕🖕🖕🖕

  78. C.... F....

    Have to get this album, just have to!

  79. P.... S....

    its just bad, guys

  80. P.... S....

    Oh man, really? I`m a fan since the beginning, you are turning somewhere else, it is not what I was hoping for, Where`s the melody? AB3 was so creative, fantastic melodies, plenty of deep, and there`s no deep in your last 2 albums, this one will make 3, just not the same anymore

  81. j.... o....

    Espetacular

  82. A.... H....

    Sorry, but I think it's over. Not bad but.....

  83. j.... s....

    Very simillar to Addicted to Pain. Good old Tremonti + Kennedy :)

  84. n.... b....

    every 3 years an album amazing

  85. i.... ....

    i hear a strong Tool vibe

  86. j.... b....

    Going to see them with Skillet in October! Not sure why that tour date doesn't show up there.

  87. l.... ....

    ON THIS DAY I SEE CLEARLY

  88. M.... R....

    Score another run for the home team! This song has been worth the wait!

  89. G.... ....

    this is okay but I cant hear a single thing

    G.... ....

    Yeah, very cluttered sound. Too much going on. I just want to hear the music.

  90. E.... M....

    2019 is turning out to be a good year of real music being released. Alter Bridge, Slipknot, Motionless In White, Korn, Tool, As I Lay Dying and that's just to name a few.

    E.... M....

    How did you for get TOOL?

    E.... M....

    @Tea 'n' Tobacco . Read my comment again buddy. Lol.

    E.... M....

    Tool, 13 years for 7 songs? Seems like a gyp.

  91. E.... ....

    0:22 I can't be the only one who got instant flashbacks to Batman Beyond right there!

    E.... ....

    Hell yeah

  92. T.... B....

    I've been kinda growing out of this band over the last few years (they were my favorite band in the Era of Blackbird and AB III and I still legitimately enjoy a lot of the stuff on those first 3 albums). I can't say they've recaptured that magic I felt when I first got into them, but this is a step up from The Last Hero for sure (no offense to fans of that record, just bored me personally)

    T.... B....

    So what? Is there a point to your post?

    T.... B....

    @romandame The point of my post is pretty apparent to anyone with reading comprehension. It's also way more positive than negative, so I'm not sure why you're being a dick for literally no reason

  93. J.... K....

    New album, on my birthday. Thanks for the present guys.

  94. L.... O....

    Myles a genius in a bottle!

  95. m.... t....

    I can't believe I'm saying this...I think this is my favorite #alterbridge song. Former favorite: Before Tomorrow Comes. Thoughts??

    m.... t....

    they're both amazing

    m.... t....

    This is actually my least favorite AB song. #1 is Blackbird, then Fortess, then really hard to pick.

  96. M.... C....

    A superb track.....pushing some boundaries and sounding great with it....bring some more :)

  97. D.... W....

    I was hooked within seconds! This band does not disappoint!
