lyrics

You can read the dictionary from cover to cover
and for all the time you spend
still you will be none the wiser
you,you use thoughts but dont employ facts
because they're not what you're trying to prove
a novel idea to take a page from your book
to show you exactly what it is you do

you get yourself in the way it so obscene
someone as eloquent as you
should always mean what you say and say what you mean
and say more but talk a little less frequent

so let's agree to a silence and not converse unless we must
because all your frames of reference lie neglected and gathering dust
and you can read the dictionary from cover to cover
but your simple mind and unsubtle tongue always make jokes of one another

and they get in the way,its so obscene
because they're not what you're trying to prove
a novel idea to take a page from your book
to show you exactly what it is you do

you can know every word to every poem ever written but appreciate
that when it comes to speaking your own mind you are so illiterate

you talk too much and dont say enough
no you're not happy,i know you're not happy now
you keep your eye on yourself,no love for anyone else
you are the dictionary definition
