You spoke your words but they met stronger fears
Communication's complex, but you know that they hear
When you say, いいえ いいえ (iie iie), нет нет (niet niet), 不 不 (boo-shi boo-shi), no
But they hear, いいよ いいよ (iio iio), نعم نعم (na-am na-am), 是的 是的 (shi-da shi-da), sure
It makes you question your role, when you're clear and concise
To see your words twisted up, or ignored, plain denied
So you say, Escúchame, استمع لي (ista mah lee), 聞く 聞く(kiku kiku), hear
But they get, пошел нахуй (pashol nahhoi), vai te foder, vaffanculo, go fuck yourself
Words can build and destroy but some building is destruction
