The Comrades: "Tower of Babble"

Written by Jimmy Williams. Copyright 1996.

"Hello. How are you? What do you do?"
I feel like shit and I exist.
Are you interested in what I have to say?
Or are you just a parrot pointlessly cackling away?

Do you really want to know the answer?
Do you really want to know the answer?
Do you really want to know the answer?

Language stripped of any real meaning
Conversation reduced to empty sloganeering
Bricks in the tower of babble so imposing
A monument to our lack of understanding

Do you really want to know the answer?
Do you really want to know the answer?
Do you really want to know the answer?

Flawlessly reciting the script
Words ring hollow
Will you remember what I said tommorow?
Will you remember what I said tommorow?
No!

Innuendo and doublespeak leave substance far behind
Deciphering your words is just a waste of time
Since when is communication such a crime?
An open mouth and a vacuous, vacant mind
