	Story Behind the Song This is one of the first songs I wrote all by myself after my songwriting partner Randy's departure. It's a song about the post-deconstructionist breakdown of communication in modern capitalist society. Wow, isn't that a mouthful?! Lyrics "Hello. How are you? What do you do?" I feel like shit and I exist. Are you interested in what I have to say? Or are you just a parrot pointlessly cackling away? Do you really want to know the answer? Do you really want to know the answer? Do you really want to know the answer? Language stripped of any real meaning Conversation reduced to empty sloganeering Bricks in the tower of babble so imposing A monument to our lack of understanding Do you really want to know the answer? Do you really want to know the answer? Do you really want to know the answer? Flawlessly reciting the script Words ring hollow Will you remember what I said tommorow? Will you remember what I said tommorow? No! Innuendo and doublespeak leave substance far behind Deciphering your words is just a waste of time Since when is communication such a crime? An open mouth and a vacuous, vacant mind
