The Way You Talk

Hey, what's the haps? I don't know I know, right? What? It's just like, you know what I mean? No, I don't Oh my God, you don't even know! You're right That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Uh... ok? That's it - end of story Great. Bye! Hey man, what's your problem? What's my problem? I don't like the way that you're talkin' to me But I don't really mind what you're sayin' My back will be turned to the words that you speak Until you find a way to properly convey 'em I don't like the way that you're talkin' to me But I don't really mind what you're sayin' Back turned to the words that you speak Until you find a way to properly convey 'em People! (people!) The way that you talk Is often so very embarrassing it's time that it stopped! Our generation sounds like a bunch of dumb kids Who grew up, but still talk like a bunch of dumb kids It's time to reunite It's due time that we fight Deterioration of our communication tonight I call upon us all to stand tall in our hearts And stop talking like morons, here's where we start When typing email please be aware That there are three different forms of the word pronounced "there" And if you dare misuse one in a letter beware I will delete you from my friends list like I just don't care The first is spelled T-H-E-Y apostrophe R-E It's a contraction of the noun "they" and the verb "are", you see? T-H-E-I-R is a possessive pronoun when You want to say that they posses it, or it belongs to them And T-H-E-R-E is an adverb with direction Which often times is used to modify a preposition With practice you can learn to use all three in a sentence For example: "They're in there with their bear." - there, I said it The thing (huh?) I hate most (huh?) that gets me (huh?) so pissed (huh?) Are people (huh?), adults (huh?), who talk (huh?) like this (huh?) Like everything's (huh?) a question (huh?), with such( huh?) indecision (huh?) You sound like a little kid, speak with some conviction! And speaking of questions, you needn't announce one By stating the word first before you pop out one Cause when you say "Question: What is the story?" I'll reply, "Answer: That is annoying." And like please don't like overuse the word like Unless you're like planin' like talkin' 'bout your new bike "like" is an adverb, it's used to compare things Like when you say "like" so much, you sound like a prom queen You know what I mean, you know - you know what I mean? UGH! Stop asking me that, I'll stop and ask if need be! And please don't reply with "that's what I'm talkin' 'bout" When I'm talking cause actually, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout Please refrain from typing messages in all caps Please cease abbreviating happening to haps Stop with the fake words, like 'guestimates' and 'factoids' And never use more than one exclamation point! Enough with the quote fingers - I get it - the tone Of your voice and choice of expression alone Should suffice to imply that you're being sarcastic You're only slowing down a boring story with a hand trick And you've gotta STOP using the word gay The way you describe a dislike, like when you say "That's such a gay car, this song is so gay" Are you in middle school you little fool, act your age, ok? Enunciate, articulate, and say what you mean And speak up so I can hear you but you don't need to scream Don't talk with your mouth full and don't interrupt me And if you say end of story, then I will leave abruptly All of these lazy and unnecessary phrases Make us seem so very dated almost as we're half our ages Try and make a change and maybe then in the end We can be friends, but until then: I don't like the way that you're talkin' to me But I don't really mind what you're sayin' My back will be turned to the words that you speak Until you find a way to properly convey 'em I don't like the way that you're talkin' to me But I don't really mind what you're sayin' Back turned to the words that you speak Until you find a way to properly convey 'em
