Lyrics
Communicate
I can?t seem to communicate with you
You say you?re passing time, well I?m just passing through
Good intentions but it?s actions that we lack
What have I got to do to try and win you back?
What we?ve got here is a failure to communicate
There?s war in 30 countries and there?s hatred in the others
There?s a world of misunderstanding looking to recover
Yet, here we are we?re still miles apart
Can?t even say the words to try and make a start
What we?ve got here is a failure to communicate
I used to have patience but my patience has run quite thin
If you want a revolution, this is the place to begin, now
Can?t express yourself cause you never even tried
And then you wake up and all your choices have all just passed you by
Would you like to say some words to convey your every thought
This ain?t quite the future you thought you bought
No time to relax, your anxieties are much too near
What?s your future? Well that ain?t all together clear
What we?ve got here?
