If you really knew how i felt, |
|
You wouldn't need to be here asking |
|
Those questions, |
|
Those irritating questions, moving in metaphors, |
|
Speaking in tongues. |
|
Your gunboat diplomacy, |
|
You accuse me of heresy, of being irreverent, |
|
My opinions irrelevant, when i smile at your smiles, |
|
When you're speaking in tongues. |
|
As we move to a stalemate, |
|
You say a contract's a contract |
|
& this is unnegotiable, |
|
I question your morality, you question my reality |
|
You're speaking in tongues |
|
We are speaking in tongues, |
|
Am i deaf because i cannot comprehend? |
|
Though i try i just cannot understand. |
|
Your entrenched opinions, |
|
On the border of arrogance, |
|
Dug in against the compromise. |
|
A position indefensible, your actions illogical |
|
You're speaking in tongues |
|
You swear contradictions |
|
Your tedious monologues, wielding authority, |
|
Demanding subservience, demanding |
|
I make your sense. |
|
Demanding speaking in tongues. |
