lyrics

you know I tried so hard to reach you
you wanna learn but I couldn't teach you
and in the end I must beseech you
to be a little bit more than this

you know I'd like to talk it over
and I can keep my cool composure
and if you listen for a moment
then it would be so marvelous

this is the way
we communicate
this is the line
between love and hate
this is the way
we communicate
this is the game
and you have to play

you must be starving for attention
you must be spitting on convention
you must be making an objection
you have to face reality
you had to make a proclamation
you put me in this situation
you always lead me to frustration
if only you were more like me

this is the way
we communicate
this is the line
between love and hate
this is the way
we communicate
this is the game
and you have to play!

empty words we are repeating
hanging on your foolish pride
this dead horse that we are beating
seems to keep us occupied
