Words Are Dead lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody told me the other day
That stories don’t matter anymore
As long as people have a melody
They’ll sing words they’ve never even heard before

Well I thought I’d give a shot
Fill a song with nothing at all
See if people still listen
Or if they turn that hollow music off

[Chorus]
So there’s nothing in this chorus
Except empty words that don’t mean a thing
And how long will it take you to notice
Or are you just happy to have something to sing
Even if I choke
I wonder if anybody would know
Or if words are really dead

[Verse 2]
What if I told you the Earth was flat
Or read numbers from a telephone book
I bet you wouldn’t even question it
‘Cause this melody is so damn good
I’m sorta hopeful this isn’t true
‘Cause words can really change the world
But I guess I’ll take comfort in knowing that while the rhythm is there
I’ll at least have a few listeners

[Chorus]
So there’s nothing in this chorus
Except empty words that don’t mean a thing
And how long will it take you to notice
Or are you just happy to have something to sing
Even if I choke
I wonder if anybody would know
Or if words are really dead

[Bridge}
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da

[Chorus]
So there’s nothing in this chorus
Except empty words that don’t mean a thing
And how long will it take you to notice
Or are you just happy to have something to sing
Even if I choke
I wonder if anybody would know
Or if words are really dead
