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

fill in your own words yeah
1-800 dial-to-be-heard

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

can you copy? do you receive? do you receive?
damn this mean device
it makes a whispering man sound as if he cries
