  • Why don't you listen when I try to talk to you?
    Stop 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)
    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
    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
    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 that others give to you
    Oh, the best you can do

    Hey man, I'm 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
