I can’t hear what you’re saying 

Just keep the music playing 

It all sounds the same to me 



Good God please have mercy 

Let’s kick the machine till it’s working 

Everybody’s got a great idea 

Do you own the one you’re encouraging 

There’s a first time for everything 

After that it starts to get confusing 

Hold onto your identities loosely 

At least the revolution will be amusing 



Word of mouth 

This is what everybody’s talking about 

So you can tell somebody to tell somebody 

That the next new thing is the same old thing 



We came and we quickly left 

We took what we could get 

I guess we weren’t impressed 

We bored ourselves instead 

What’s after what’s next 

What’s left to get off your chest 

Walking in circles retracing steps 

How many ways can we package the concept 

Mundane it’s all the same 

Remind me later when nothing’s changed 

Time will tell let the future explain 

Until then we’ve got history to make 

Trend-setters real go-getters 

Closed-minded free-thinking hipsters 

Instant classics adored by critics 

It’s just music for the kids 



Word of mouth 

This is what everybody’s talking about 

So you can tell somebody to tell somebody that 

What’s happening has already happened again 



Of course you’ve heard this before 

What are you trying to figure out 

Too much time on your hands 

To analyze what doesn’t count 

What’s wrong with everyday people 

They make the best crowd 

It was never that important 

And the future doesn’t care about your 



Word of mouth 

This is what everybody’s talking about 

So you can tell somebody to tell somebody 

That what’s happening has already happened again 



Word of mouth 

This is what everybody’s talking about 

So you can tell somebody to tell somebody 

That the next new thing is the same old thing 



Word of mouth 

This is what everybody’s talking about
