Talk is cheap, and I should know
|
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
|
People mean well, but still make a mess
|
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath
|
|
Lately I'm losing my appetite
|
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites
|
Who just talk
|
And this is what we do, we just talk
|
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine
|
Or rehash what the television shows all mean
|
It's just talk
|
And this is what we do, we just talk
|
|
Some people don't know how they really feel
|
Some people won't talk about what is real
|
And I could never chitchat all day long
|
Some people just look for an open ear
|
Some people don't care what you want to hear
|
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along
|
|
I'll go by what you do
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
And I don't want to wait for you
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
I don't know how you spend your time
|
But I'm done wasting all of mine
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
|
Lately I'm tired of politics
|
And listening to the neverending arguments
|
That just stall
|
And this is what we do, we just stall
|
Never know someone to change their mind
|
After a heated debate over the moral lines
|
We just crossed
|
But this is what we do, we just talk
|
|
Some people get cute and they draw the line
|
Some people won't choose over left and right
|
And I could never stomach all that greed
|
Some people don't care enough
|
Some people get scared enough
|
To get talked into something that they think they should believe
|
|
I'll go by what you do
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
And I don't want to wait for you
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
I don't know how you spend your time
|
But I'm done wasting all of mine
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
|
Some people, some people, some people
|
Think action is overdue
|
Some people, some people, some people
|
Can't wait, we've got work to do
|
|
I only speak of what I've done
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
And if you're listening, everyone
|
But you talk when you're talking to me
|
|
I'll go by what to do
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
And I don't want to wait for you
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
I don't know how you spend your time
|
But I'm done wasting all of mine
|
Cause talk is cheap
|
