Alfie QW - Making Conversation Lyrics

Caring takes a lot of time
Thank God I know the solid reply
Words to show appreciation
Faking it in conversation
Realising the truth of social laziness

Miming a chatterbox to seem alive
No real substance just pale white lies
Can you relate cause I sure can?
We're all the same polite young man
I want a reason to put in the time
Precious hours of making it fine
Hows about many brand new friends
Is it really worth it to this extent?

Awkward moments are ended
When making conversation this splendid
Don't cut to the chase
Your words are a waste
But little effort is spent
So do what you want
Hide or confront
Your problems will go away

We're all familiar with these phrases
Making sure things don't take ages
Like 'Hi, hello & how are you?'
Is the conscious mind there to see things through
I need a reason to put in the time
Precious hours of making it fine
I'm lazy when it comes to it
I'm guessing I just don't show it

Awkward moments are ended
When making conversation this splendid
Don't cut to the chase
Your words are a waste
But little effort is spent
So do what you want
Hide or confront
Your problems will go away

Why must we do this charade?
And why do I think it's so hard?
An alien lingo for the now modern people so far
These tricks & skills get lost & killed down the path
That's why we're stuck to an LED screen
A zombie generation with no skill of conversation it seems

Awkward moments are ended
When making conversation this splendid
Don't cut to the chase
Your words are a waste
But little effort is spent
So do what you want
Hide or confront
Your problems will go away
Do what you want
Hide or confront
Your problems will go away
