Time and time again
translation seems to sabotage the words
you know what is said is not what is heard
Damn this mean device
It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries
It's the pinnacle of what is cynical

CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you hear what i say
but it comes out all wrong
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you say what i see
still you speak in different tongues

Don't act like a fool
It makes you so uncool and that's what it does best
'cause if anything
it's just a temper-test
Fill in your own words yeah
1-800 Dial-to-be-heard
It's the pinnacle of what is typical
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you hear what i say
but it comes out all wrong
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you say what i see
still you speak in different tongues

clap your hands and you know what to do
my ears attend to you
as people listen intently
can you copy?
do you receive?
do you receive?
Damn this mean device
It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries...
