The Words

I can tell that you're having a ball here
All the smileys cluttering the screen
But I won't bow to this curse
Cause I like the words
 
All I read are your abbreviations
Crazy signs of time running out with you
All those lonely consonants
Man, my eyes do hurt
Yes I like the words
 
If you're dumb and on a search
I've got a poem for you to perch on
 
You tell me this ain't the dark middle ages
And there is no fun in the rules of speech
But it's alright 
If you cast me as a nerd
Cause I like the words
 
If you're dumb and on a search
I've got a poem for you to perch on
If you're dumb and on a search
 
In a silent sky we fly
While the cliché clouds pass by
While we drift apart we stop to try
 
I like the words
I like the words
I like the words
I like the words
I like the words
I've got a poem for you to perch on
 
Cause I like the words
