Small Talk Lyrics

Here we go again, the same conversations

Scripted pleasantries and social conventions

Yeah, the weather's nice and I just don't care

It's hard to break the ice when I'd rather be elsewhere

Oh no, he's pulling out of a picture of her

It's the second of his seven daughters

And I can't wait to meet the entire flock (not really)

Can't stand this purgatory of meet and greet

Can't really go far when you're stuck on repeat

And that's why I hate small talk

Yes, I've tried the shrimp… what's your name again

I won't remember that, but I don't mean to offend

I'm still in the band - oh you mean my real job

Let's guess, your name is Dick, another certified snob

Sometimes I step aside and pull out my phone

I just need to spend some time on my own

With my thoughts or the coffee shop down the block

Somedays I wish I had a microphone

So I could tell everyone to leave me alone

Because I hate small talk

Yes I know it's what we do (what we do)

It may lead to something nice (something nice)

I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it 'cause I have to (yes you do)

But don't you make me say it twice

Blabla blablabla bla

Blabla blablabla

Blabla blablabla blabla blabla

Bla bla bla

Blabla blablabla bla

Blabla blablabla

Blabla blablabla blabla blabla
