(Dick/Simmonds/Usher/Boult)
|
|
If you really knew how I felt,
|
You wouldn't need to be here asking
|
Those questions,
|
Those irritating questions, moving in metaphors,
|
Speaking in tongues.
|
|
your gunboat diplomacy,
|
You accuse me of heresy, of being irreverent,
|
My opinions irrelevant, when I smile at your smiles,
|
When you're speaking in tongues.
|
|
As we move to a stalemate,
|
you say a contract's a contract
|
& this is unnegotiable,
|
I question your morality, you question my reality
|
You're speaking in tongues
|
|
We are speaking in tongues,
|
Am I deaf because I cannot comprehend?
|
Though I try I just cannot understand.
|
|
Your entrenched opinions,
|
On the border of arrogance,
|
Dug in against the compromise.
|
A position indefensible, your actions illogical
|
You're speaking in tongues
|
|
You swear contradictions
|
your tedious monologues, wielding authority,
|
Demanding subservience, demanding
|
I make your sense.
|
Demanding speaking in tongues.
|
