We're late at night rehearsing for the screaming match
Our throats have long dried up by the mic check
We saw the golden medals and the big fat cheques
They got...
Tugging heartstrings from a bunch of wrecks

So now we're making all these doppelgangers
Wasting the rest of our voices at strangers
We're throwing a tantrum over their grammar
And we're laying down the hammer

Yeah
So sit and listen, troublemaker

Politics, science, faith, the Easter Bunny
We just gotta make it count and call the press
In hopes that we'll someday be joining the mass of the few like them

To be flexing our texts to the uneducated
Be the priests to the congregation
So stop plugging your ears
Start picking your seats on the audience
And stop figuring out we came up here with nothing to say

I want to talk (I want to talk)
It's time to talk (I want to talk)
Everyone is talking (I want to talk)
(So let's talk about that)
I want to talk (I want to talk)
It's time to talk (I want to talk)
Everyone is talking (I want to talk)
(So let's talk about that)
So let's talk about that

Send morse code
Tweet
Get it published everywhere
I want to talk
I want to sit my ass down and talk
Won't you listen?

Then we press replay
And you don't even need to worry about understanding
We're gonna create new ways of ranting
And so we go... straight into the chanting
We are so urgent and so demanding
But no one's listening because we got nothing to say

But I want to talk
It's time to talk
Everyone is talking
They want to talk
Let's talk about...
But I want to talk
It's time to talk
Everyone is talking
They want to talk
So let's talk about that
(You will hear about that)

(So why isn't anyone listening?)
