TV's broke down
Won't see the news at ten tonight
Inks running from the paper
Dropped in the street tonight

Seeds of fulfilment
For food for thought I won't receive
Picked up the phone to find out
The time there is no tone
And all I hear is

(Communication breakdown)
There ain't no solution
(Communication breakdown)
Feeling inside your soul
(Communication breakdown)
(Communication breakdown)

Questions are asked
He turns and says he knows them all
Facing the corner he's told not to speak at all

What did he do that was so wrong
For him to be standing there
He understood what she said
But can only speak French
And she speaks Spanish

(Communication breakdown)
There ain't no solution
(Communication breakdown)
Feeling inside your soul
(Communication breakdown)
(Communication breakdown)

Communication
Communication
Communication

Years pass you both meet
And talk of what you have done
Finding the paths you've both chose
Don't link up as one
