Time and time again   translation seems to sabotage   the words   you know what is said   is not what is heard   Damn this mean device   It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries   It's the pinnacle of what is cynical   CONVERSATION INTERCOM   you hear what i say but   it comes out all wrong   CONVERSATION INTERCOM   you say what i see still   you speak in different tongues   Don't act like a fool   It makes you so uncool and   that's what it does best   'cause if anything   it's just a temper-test   Fill in your own words   yeah   1-800 Dial-to-be-heard   It's the pinnacle   of what is typical   CONVERSATION INTERCOM   you hear what i say   but it comes out all wrong   CONVERSATION INTERCOM   you say what i see still   you speak in different tongues   ........   clap your hands and you know what to do...   my ears attend to you...   as people listen intently...   can you copy?....   do you receive?...   do you receive?...   Damn this mean device   It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries,
