Why don't you listen to me when I try to talk to you? Stop thinking of yourself for just a second, fool Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way) Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (Stomp, stomp, stomp) the idiot convention Which one of these words don't you understand? I'm caught in a mosh Talking to you is like clapping with one hand What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? Don't tell me how to do my job There's the door, your name's on the knob You're always in the way, like a beast on my back Were you dropped as a baby, 'cause brains you lack? Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way) Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (Stomp, stomp, stomp) the idiot convention Which one of these words don't you understand? I'm caught in a mosh Talking to you, is like clapping with one hand What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? (Think) before you speak Or suffer for your words (Learn) to give respect That others give to you Ah, the best you can do Hey, man! I'm trying to reason but you don't understand Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight Just you and me in our theater of hate Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way) Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (Stomp, stomp, stomp) the idiot convention Which one of these words don't you understand? I'm caught in a mosh Talking to you is like talking with one hand What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh? What is it caught in a mosh?
