I'm restless messed with damned and in distress and
This will best express the nature of my discontent so
If you listen closely to every word that's said you just might
Get the message the way that I intend but

Y'all don't here me now and it's a shame and
You can see me now trying my best not to complain about the
Same old same old bullshit that we deal with
On a daily basis but still you make me say it again

I'm real sorry but I didn't understand a word that you said
Or maybe I just wasn't listening
Your lips move but I didn't get the gist so instead
I'll pretend that I heard everything?

And maybe this is the way that it should be and
To communicate is just a waste of energy and
Y'all don't here me now so where you at and
You can see me now I'm coming off and you can bet

I'm real sorry but I didn't understand a word that you said

Or maybe I just wasn't listening
Your lips move but I didn't get the gist so instead
I'll pretend that I heard everything?
You get the message now? Want me to say it again?

It didn't used to be this way
We could understand each other
Speak and get the point across but
I guess those days are over

And we remember very well
How to broadcast our transmissions
But to receive the signals in the air
I think that's what we're missing

And y'all don't here me now
Can't here a word that I said
Do you get the message now?
Want me to say it again?

You get the message now? Want me to say it again?
