words are just noises
from a hole in your face
like aaargh, ohhh and blah
why should i listen to the noises you're making?
your aaah is my oh
my blah is your ahh.
you think a noise means this
and i say it means that
if it means both
it must mean nothing
if it can mean anything
it must mean nothing
why say nothing?
nothing. nothing. nothing. nothing.
save your energy
save your time
save my ears
repeat
repeat is just an instruction
repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat
fade fade fade fade fade fade (fading)
keep fading while saying
fade fade fade fade fade
dot dot dot dot dot dot
i say this but i think that
are you thinking this? or that?
i say this but i think that
are you thinking this? or that?

it should be catchy
i'll just repeat it
here is the chorus
it should be catchy
i'll just repeat it
here is the chorus
it should be catchy
i'll just repeat it
i can see sound
dripping from a hole in your face
sound is coming from my face too
it means shut up
shut up shut up shut up shut up
shut up shut up shut up shut up
i've heard sounds like yours before
and nothing good happened
i've heard sounds like yours before
and i wish i'd stopped them sooner
i don't like your sounds
i don't like your sounds
i will take your noise and make it mine
