Why don't you listen when I try to talk to you?
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)
Sweat, my fists are clenching
(Stomp, stomp, stomp) The idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
We gotta hear yo'!
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh! Go!
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?
Oh, caught in a mosh, that's right!
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 others give to you
Ohhh-whooa!
Whooa!
Oh-hey-hey-oh-oh!
(Oh-hey-hey-hey-hey)
Turning on!
Turning on!
Hey man; 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?
Oh, 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!
