Carolyn Arends One-syllable Words Lyrics

One-syllable Words Lyrics

Psychobabble, legal-ese
People earning Ph.Ds
In Postmodern Paranoid
Confusion
Self-indulgent rhetoric
Talk and talk until we're sick
Of
arguments that end with no conclusion
Can't we make the point clear
Maybe
what we need here are

Chorus:
One syllable words
Faith, hope and
love
Truth, peace and trust
One syllable words
That's what we need,
yeah

To listen to us talk you'd think
That twenty dollar words are
cheap
But answers can't be bought for any tender
Constantly we
complicate
Pointlessly pontificate
'Til things are getting worse instead
of better
Look at how far we've come
Maybe we should learn
some

Chorus:
One syllable words
Faith, hope and love
Truth,
peace and trust
One syllable words
That's what we need,
yeah

Everybody knows them
Maybe we should speak in

One
syllable words
Faith, hope and love
Truth, peace and trust
One
syllable words
That's what we need, yeah

Faith and hope and
love
Truth and peace and trust
Dream and play and watch and pray
Learn
and live and laugh and give
Reach and fly and seek and try
With all your
heart and soul and mind
Yeah
