It's hard sometimes to speak my mind
A sympathetic ear is never easy to find
In a world where we're taught to be quiet and obey
Is there any wonder why we don't have much to say?

When religious wars are being fought to the death
If you're speaking for god my friend you're out of your depth
When it's the same kind of message you're trying to preach
You talk about love and you talk about peace

But somewhere along the line your wires are crossed
And somewhere along the line your message is lost

Now everybody's talking
And i think that what is missing
Is ability to listen to what is being said
Instead of blankly nodding your head
Ignoring what you hear cos you're waiting
For your chance to speak

They'll blame it on love
They'll blame it on hare
I call that a failure to communicate
