Lyrics

Big talk, small talk, everybody's all talk.
I hear the news talk, now talk, holier-than-thou talk.
Talkin' through your hat,
Tell me what kinda talk is that.

Now, talkin', empty talkin' poundin' in my head,
Most of what you hear is better left unsaid.
Yeah, talkin', empty talkin' everywhere you go.
Everybody's starring in their own talk show.

Peace talk leads to war talk, what are we hear for talk.
I hear the loose talk and the cheap talk masquerade as deep talk.
You're talkin' even in your sleep,
Ah, there go all the secrets that you said you'd keep.

Now, talkin', empty talkin' it's a funny game
'Cuz what you say and what you do are not the same.
No, talkin', talkin', talkin' every night and day.
Everybody's acting in their own word play.

All the gobbledygooks with their circumlocution, it's total confusion
With their mumbo jumbo kind of noise pollution.
Legalese, bureaucratese,
I'd rather be listening to chimpanzeeeeeeees.
,
Talkin' empty talkin' poundin' in my head,
Most of what you hear is better left unsaid.
Talkin', empty talkin' everywhere that you go,
Everybody's starring in their own talk show.

Talkin', empty talkin poundin' in my head,
Most of what you hear is better left unsaid.
Yeah, yakity, yakity, yakity-yak,
Don't let 'em talk about you when you turn your back.
