Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
[Chorus]
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their innocence will pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[Verse 2]
Poets, priests, and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
No one's jamming their transmission
When their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
[Chorus]
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their innocence will pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[PostChorus]
Yo-oh, yo-oh-oh
Yo-oh, yo, c'mon
Yo-oh-oh
[Chorus]
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their innocence will pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[PostChorus]
Yo-oh-oh, what?
Yo-oh-oh, I can't hear you
Yo-oh-oh, that's better
Yo-oh-oh, now keep going
Yo-oh-oh
Yo-oh-oh
Yo-oh-oh
Yo-oh-oh
[Instrumental]
Yo-oh-oh
Thank you
