[Verse 1]
I just can't see why you can't see what I mean
But I can't make things any plainer
The words get in the way -
Is that quite what I mean?
If not now, then certainly sooner or later
We've got a problem with communication -
Look, I scrabble with my hands
Well, I try to get some head-room from the elevation
But you just don't understand

[Verse 2]
Most of the things we say mean we most of the time
Treat our speech with derision
Flap our hands in body-telegram - I know that gets through
So much better than anything said with precision
Hey!
We've got a problem with communication
And it's getting quite absurd...
Well, I think I'm going to flip out from the sheer frustration
Yes, I'm losing faith in words
Losing faith in words
Losing faith in words
Losing faith in words

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
We've got a problem with communication
Yes, we've, we've got a problem with communication
Yes, I think we've got a problem with communication
Well, I know we've got a problem with communication
Only getting through in anagrams -
Well, I try to get some linkage from articulation
Yes, I try to get some head-room from the elevation
Well, I try to pull back something from my education...
Yes, I try to, try to, try to but I still don't understand
I try, I just don't understand
I talk, you just don't understand
You just don't understand
You just don't understand
You just don't understand

[Outro]
Sometimes I don't know why I bother
But I'm bothered
