lyrics

I'm not drunk enough, I'm not drunk enough
I'll never be drunk enough to listen to you
You keep babbling, talking, prattling
Million words a second and not one getting through

And every single day it's the same old story
You do all the work, they get all the glory
Every little word that you say's so boring
Slides right off my ears

There's no substance in all those syllables
It takes all my effort just to get a word in
It's a waterfall, won't sink in at all
Words are getting thicker & my patience grows thin

And every single day it's the same old story
You do all the work, they get all the glory
Every little word that you say's so boring
Slides right off my ears

What the world needs now is a little bit of silence
Those empty words gonna push it into violence
You get one good shot, then it's over, yeah it's over and gone
The babble it goes on and on

Overpowering, Words are towering
Blocking out the sun with the words that you spew
Build it higher, Stoke the brushfire
One day Babel's tower's gonna fall right on you

And every single night as you lie in bed you're
Talking in your sleep til I'm seeing red
Does it help drown out the thoughts in your head?
It's planting some in mine...

What the world needs now is a little bit of silence
Those empty words gonna push it into violence
You get one good shot, then it's over, yeah over and gone
The babble it goes on and on

When a thought goes through your head (Blah blah blah blah)
It will slide right off your tongue (Blah blah blah blah)
Those are moments that I dread (Blah blah blah)
Could you close the gates, of your pearly whites
Before I come unstrung?

And every single day it's the same old story
You do all the work, they get all the glory
Every little word that you say's so boring
Slides right off my ears

What the world needs now is a little bit of silence
Those empty words gonna push it into violence
You get one good shot, then it's over, yeah over and gone
The babble it goes on and on
