lirik lagu sydney zarlengo – the confused linguist
i’ve studied 10 languages, from german to sign
when translating and speaking, i’m doing just fine
but the one i can’t get, one i’ll never boast
is the one neurotypicals choose to use most
they speak with their eyes
words never vocalized
there’s too much going on, too much in code
and somehow their senses don’t overload
they all laugh but i’ve missed the joke
each time i speak i feel ready to choke
they expect me to get it so fluently, but
i’m a learner, why can’t they go easy on me?
i’m messing up but in my defense
this social stuff doesn’t make any sense
it’s not my first language, i’m trying my best
but it seems i’ll always be a confused linguist
i have no problem with conjugation, tenses, and cases
i don’t mind agreeing adjectives to their phrases
for me it is simple, a puzzle to solve
but when i try to speak to them, then i dissolve
she could be angry or simply pretending
perhaps something i did wrong could be offending
how can they pay attention to 3 topics at once?
i know that i’m smart but i feel like a dunce
they all laugh but i’ve missed the joke
each time i speak i feel ready to choke
they expect me to get it so fluently, but
i’m a learner, why can’t they go easy on me?
i’m messing up but in my defense
this social stuff doesn’t make any sense
it’s not my first language, i’m trying my best
but it seems i’ll always be a confused linguist
i constantly wonder as i study and slog
why is it all my job to get the dialogue?
if some of the work was put upon them
they could make it easier, time and again
they all laugh but i’ve missed the joke
each time i speak i feel ready to choke
they expect me to get it so fluently, but
i’m a learner, why can’t they go easy on me?
i’m messing up but in my defense
this social stuff doesn’t make any sense
it’s not my first language, i’m trying my best
but it seems i’ll always be a confused linguist
they could make it easier, time and again x2
