Speak Softly

Out of the window Down to the street She yells at her husband He's tired and loaded He drives off to work "Just move it, god damn!" Past mothers and fathers Who scream at their kids He roars like a madman Straight into the office He barks at the next best As loud as he can You gotta speak softly Will you speak to me Speak to me I can't hear a word Hear a word While you scream You gotta speak softly When you speak to me Speak to me It's not just an act that I don't understand You at all You're full of anger Spitting out words All in capital letters I'm trying to get it But there's no sound It shatters my nerves If you keep on yellin' It won't change a thing You're just making it worse This is a languages I don't want to speak And you're right, it hurts! You gotta speak softly Will you speak to me Speak to me I can't hear a word Hear a word While you scream You gotta speak softly When you speak to me Speak to me It's not just an act that I don't understand You at all
