Lyrics

Conversation Intercom (Vocoder Intermix)

[Verse 1]

Time and time again

Translation seems to sabotage the words

You know what he says

Not what is heard

Damn this mean device

It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries

It's the pinnacle of what is typical

[Chorus]

Conversation intercom

You hear what I say but

It comes out all wrong

Conversation intercom

You say what I see still

You speak in different tongues

[Verse 2]

Don't act like a fool

It makes you so uncool and

That's what it does best

'Cause if anything

It's just a temper-test

Fill in your own words

Yeah

1-800 Dial-to-be-heard

It's the pinnacle

Of what is cynical

[Chorus]

Conversation intercom

You hear what I say

But it comes out all wrong

Conversation intercom

You say what I see still

You speak in different tongues

[Bridge]

Yeah

Clap your hands and you know what to do...

My ears attends to you...

As people listen intently...

[Verse 3]

Can you copy?

Do you receive?

Do you receive?

Do you receive, yeah?

Do you receive?

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again
