Two-Two

How many times

Can I speak

Without being heard

How often can I repeat

The same refrain

I’ve become Jacob Two-Two

Speaking and saying

The same thing again

And still no one listens

And no one understands

Fixated on one thing

That isn’t the issue at hand

So I repeat myself ad nauseam

Over and over

In a hundred different ways

But in the end no one hears
It all sounds the same

It all sounds the same
