Talk Songtext
von Redgum

Nothing much has changed here but the skyline
I′m out of work, there's nothing to do
Video games have changed their names
There′s a new show on TV
Employment schemes, suburban dreams
They're not much use to me

It's all just talk
When we want some action

Same old lies
Heard them all before
It′s all just talk
I get no reaction
Life′s too short to hang around
And time just slips away


Every day I get the morning paper
Employment sections are looking pretty thin
My old man's crazy, he says I′m lazy
He says I never try
I wait for news from interviews
But they all pass me by

It's all just talk
When we want some action

Same old lies
Heard them all before
It′s all just talk
No satisfaction
Life's too short to hang around
And time just slips away

And in the corridors of power
Corruption makes the rules
Manipulate the circumstance
And leave the rest of fools

It′s all just talk
When we want some action


Same old lies
Heard them all before
It's all just talk
No satisfaction
Life's too short to hang around
And time just slips away
