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
