Communications, negociations, vocal salvations,
loose as sand
Interpretations, world situations, misunderstandings
it got out of hand
Words of wisdom, words of hate
Often don't feel what we state
It's your word against my word
My heart against your heart

'Cause what's in a word 
It's all in the way you say it
And tell me, what's in a word
There is nothing in there when you fake it
Go and call them assholes, but tenderly
or sweethearts
But cold, so cold, so cold
Now what's in a word
Nothing but the way it's been told

Negociations, manipulations, vocal inflations
Loose as sand
Negociations, interpretations of world situations
Make misunderstandings
What can I believe 
Words of truth that sound unreal
Often don't tell what I feel 
Ways that harm but not, never the aim
What are words made for
Why use them all 

'Cause what's in a word 
It's all in the way you say it
And tell me, what's in a word
There is nothing in there when you fake it
Go and call them assholes, but tenderly
or sweethearts
But cold, so cold, so cold
Now what's in a word
Nothing but the way it's been told
