Chinese Telephone

This was intended to be a song about the way the world loves to gossip

I won’t be in the middle, even when I cant choose sides.
(Pass the message, pass the message)
I feel more used than a broken cliché.
(Pass the message pass the message)
It’s gotten worse as we got older.
(Pass the message, pass the message)
But it’s an elementary game.
(Pass the message, pass the message)

You must suck at Chinese telephone.

No one’s ever really lying
(Pass the message, pass the message)
There’s never just one to blame.
(Pass the message, pass the message)
When did friendship get so fake?
(Pass the message, pass the message)
When did we get used to heartache?
(Pass the message, pass the message)

So put the message in a bottle
Send it out to see
Forget the smudges in the ink
Interpret as you read
Add a line or drop one
Make it all your own
All that I can say is
You must suck at Chinese telephone.
