communication

hey, how you doin'?
how's the weather?
tell me something new
i like your sweater
the talk continues
as we just ramble on
but is there any use when
your attention's gone

CHORUS:
they ask, "how are you?"
you let them hear what they want to
just smile and nod
everything's fabulous
we waltz through life
never really knowing the rest

so what's the forecast?
will it keep raining?
will this reality star last?
the topics keep on changing
we can't stay entertained with
this conversation
something's gotta change cuz
i don't know what's goin on

CHORUS

i ask you, "how you doin?"
you say, "good, how 'bout you?"
"well i'm great, thanks for askin?"
cuz that's the common thing to do
this communication
is so ridiculous
if i ask you one thing
the answer comes back unprocessed

CHORUS
