Ernie's Got a Problem

From Vol. I2012

Lyrics

Ernie's Got a Problem

Ernie sits down with a headache He's been thinking "how do i say what i want to When all i've got are Words, just words?" Language can never fit the world All of my attempts are failures Language can never fit the world All of my attempts are failures So, what now? What now? Ernie's frustrations are growing He's turned to music "how do you hear what i'm saying When all i've got are Notes, just notes?" Language can never fit the world All of my attempts are failures Language can never fit the world All of my attempts are failures So, what now? What now?
