Spywork is my vocation
But on this mission, can't believe
What I forgo-ot, yeah, yeah-eah
Normally I have some tracers
Bu-unch of sound retrievers
So on private conversations
I can listen, but they're gone and that's lame
So I'm peakin'
Through a window, wishin'
That I could hear what they're sayin'
I don't know, man, this really su-ucks

Oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
Could find out if those dudes are drug dea-eale-ers
Oh-oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
Then I could be an info recie-ieve-er

A genuine problem
My boss will flip shit
My neck, he's goin' to throttl-le, yeah, yeah-eah
Can't tell if they're sayi-in' "drugs"
Or if they want a new rug
Was this covered in spy lessons?
Was I sleepin' through it all on that day?
So I'm failin'
At speech comprehension
I can't understand their meanin'
I don't know, man, this really su-ucks

Oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
Figure out which one is the ringlea-eade-er
Oh-oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
Should've paid attention to the tea-eache-e-er

Ooh, why was this a solo mission?
Could've used some helpin'
Or at least a good technique
Not derived from bad film dubs
Well, I guess I'm screwed
At this point I have the one option
Yes, all that's left to do
Is a violent interrogation

Oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
Or at least not forget my recie-ieve-ers
Oh-oh, I wish that I was an awesome lip reader
But I'm stuck bein' a thug face-bea-eate-e-er
