A- "I listen to everything
and I just get confused
I try to soak it all in like a sponge. "
B- "Yes, listening like a sponge
but is it a good way to listen?
Though you soak up everything
when you try to think about it
it is still confused
It began one day, when we were playing a game
a listening game
We were going to try to identify
different sounds on the record
would you like to try it with us?
Listen to the next sound
from the record player"

Honey, let the kids out, it's bright outside
And I can still see to the end of the street
To you I am a stranger
nothing but a photoshopped picture
Pretending to care

If this is your war
then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water
are from the pipes outside your living room
And I'd like to see it happen soon

Here we have a problem situated close to home
And no one is safe
when you put your fur coat on
I don't even know
why I'm standing on the front lawn
Trying to survive

How can it be, somehow I'm the villain here?
Short of breath and telling you the truth
With my right hand on a book
It's becoming obvious, enough is enough
And finally, we can agree
on something with meaning for once

If this is your war
then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water
are from the pipes outside
If this is your war
then why have the fires already begun?
And I hate to see where you end up
The [?] and the water
are from the pipes outside your living room
And I'd like to see it happen soon
So when I ask you to
Get out, get out while you still can
