[Verse]
Back when the words came easily
I had the answer to everything
Revelling in a smart-alec comeback
Now I'm alone with my memories
Far from the place that I want to be
Where is the one that speaks to me?

[Chorus]
If I can't talk to you
And you can't talk to me
How can nation speak unto nation?
I know I'm dumb
But people are dumber
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way

[Verse]
If I could break down the empire that rules your home
And bathe it with thoughts that are all my own
Maybe I could liberate your soul
Scatter your ashеs, build you back up
Hope for a miracle, that's all you've got
Maybе I could liberate your soul
[Chorus]
If I can't talk to you
And you can't talk to me
How can nation speak unto nation?
I know I'm dumb
But people are dumber
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way

[Chorus]
If I can't talk to you
And you can't talk to me
How can nation speak unto nation?
I know I'm dumb
But people are dumber
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way
Talking in a loud, grating way
