| 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
|

| 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 line
|
| 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 |
