Time and time again translation seems to sabotage the words
You know what is said is not what is heard
d___ 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?

d___ this mean device
It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries
