Hey (oh-oh)
Shoutin' your words, I'm not hearin' 'em, you know I'm really carin' (hey)
So if you could please stop for a (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Second, take a bye for me, so I can try for you
Can you hear me (I'll holler back, boy)?
No? Well, bugger

Volume's high (projection's real good), never low (whisper would be bad)
But the clarity ain't really good, you know (ey, I gotta shout back)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (yeah, must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (okay, I gotta holler back, right)
It must matter if it's (yeah) worth some good shoutin' (worth it, yeah)
Might disturb the hood shoutin' (ey)
Afraid I still don't know (yeah, yeah, ey, say)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (seems somethin's a problem, holler back, right)

Hate the long-distance shoutin', might take you to task (task), yes
After it's discovered what you wanna ask (ask), check
You might get if I heard it the first time, but that's a burden
That I haven't earned, you jerk, the first (yeah) time that we've talked is now, yes sir
To anyone's observance, any passerby who's heard us
We're two schmoes who just don't know about the telephonic service
What did you say? Might sound terse, but I hate the not-learnin'
I just wanna know the reason why your yap's not shut, I'm sure
Your shoutin' started at half-past five a.m., which is not when I wake up
I don't wanna do this, but I have to, bud
If I'm gonna be a calmer, can't flash the finger up, can't fling things up
I will learn what you're hootin' 'bout, I wanna end this soon

You see, this ain't my usual mood
I'm a "just ignore it" kinda dude
But since my poor mind's ri-ri-right screwed
'Cause of the damn time that you chose to shout, you douche

Askin' why (cause knowledge is good) you must go (and do it like that)
And make noises in my direction like so (ey, I gotta shout back)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (yeah, must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (okay, I gotta holler back, right)
Better matter if it's (yeah) worth all that shoutin' (worth it, yeah)
That vibrates-the-glass shoutin' (oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah, ey)
Piqued my int'rest, you know (yeah, yeah, ey, say)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (I must know your problem, holler back, right)

Hey, are there weird emissions, dude? Comin' from your kitchen
Huge-ass plumes of smoke a-driftin' cause you left the stove a little late
Wait, no? Maybe you've exploded some Frito-Lays
Midnight snack ain't good when your brain is barely thinkin' straight (yeah-eah, yeah)
Not hearin' "yes" or "no", so I'll just keep on makin' (yes, I'll just keep on makin' guesses)
Guesses 'til I hit the one answer, age-old play
Bet you're mad cause of Daylight Savin's Time and you lost or gained an hour
That'd make me sour (ooh-oh-eh-ee-eh-ee, yeah-eah-eah-ee-yeah-eah)
I'll check the calendar here just to see - oops, seems you
Can't be mad at that cause that ain't here, two weeks due
Lot of work I'll put in to learn why you're peeved, dude (yeah-eah)
Where most say "SHUT THE HELL UP, ASSHOLE!" (yeah-eah-eah), I prefer to reach you

Is a broken computer why you
Shout right into traffic like a douche?
Yellin' back to find why-why-why you (yeah-eah)
Woke me up at five, what shit are you goin' through?

I'll be fine (I swear I'll be good) once I know (soon as I learn that)
Once I've got the answer locked within my lobes (ey, I gotta shout back) (deep within my lobes)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (yeah, must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (okay, I gotta holler back, right) (yeah, 'fraid so, must holler back, yeah-eah)
Has to matter if it's (yeah) lead to that shoutin' (worth it, yeah)
That total-full-blast shoutin' (ey)
At least, I really hope (yeah, yeah, ey, say)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (gotta learn your problem, holler back, right)

Hold up, please stop talkin' over me, that's not what
I need if I'm gonna sort the lies
From the half-truths and the vagaries so I
Can help you stop the screams so that I can then lie down
Might be wastin' time, ev'ryone hopes to find me
Throwin' the rocks that have the largest spikes
Perhaps a Molotov cocktail with some ice
Or just call all the cops to this here site (yeah-eah-eah)
But I'll take the whole day to learn why you snapped
So I don't do that (I will not snap) and find a soft place to stab
To go that far will be bad so I'll just keep yellin' back
Can you discern me? Don't know, but I'm kinda doubtin' that
With the swears and "WHAT?"'s, sounds bad

I don't like (you know it's not good) how you go (a waste of time, man)
Lash out at me, I'm just tryna help, you know (ey, I gotta shout back)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (yeah, must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (okay, I gotta holler back, right)
It might matter or else (yeah) all of that shoutin' (worth it, yeah)
That up-to-ten mad shoutin' (ey)
Is just noise, can't be so (yeah, yeah, ey, say)
So I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (must holler back, right)
I gotta, gotta, gotta holler back, boy (what the hell's your problem? Holler back, right)
