Don't believe in the ja ja ja
Don't believe in the
blah blah blah
Don't believe in the games they play
Don't believe and you'll be ok
Don't believe in the promises
Don't believe in a tender fall
Don't you know you're expendable
Don't believe them
Don't you trust them
Don't you join them
Don't become them
Don't believe in the ja
ja jaDon't believe in the blah blah blah
Don't believe in the games they play
Don't believe and you'll be ok
Don't believe in
their crystal ball
Don't believe in their manual
Don't believe in the politics
Don't believe in
the legal tricks
Don't believe them
Don't you trust them
Don't you join them
Don't become them
Don't believe in the ja ja ja
Don't believe in the blah blah blah
Don't believe in the games they play
Don't believe and you'll be ok
Don't believe that you can't say no
Don't believe that you can't let go
Don't believe that they're all you've got
Don't become someone you are not
Don't believe them

The song "Blah Blah Blah" by Babel Fish issues a warning against blindly believing and following along with societal norms and expectations. The first verse encourages listeners not to believe in the "ja ja ja" or meaningless chatter, or the "blah blah blah" of the words and ideas that are pushed onto them. The next stanza urges people not to believe in the games played by those in power, and to avoid the promises and obvious tactics used by others to manipulate them.
The chorus repeats the message of not believing in the "ja ja ja" or "blah blah blah" and the games played by others. The following verses suggest that people should not believe in crystal balls or manuals, the politics or the legal tricks used, and they should not become like those who attempt to control them. The last lines of the song state that people should not believe that they can't say no or let go, and they should avoid becoming someone they are not just to fit in with society's expectations.
Overall, "Blah Blah Blah" is an anthem against conformity and encourages listeners to think for themselves, question authority and societal norms, and avoid becoming just another pawn in the system.
