Paroles:
(dick/simmonds/usher/boult)
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
