Talking the Talk

No doubt this world we’re in is a crazy place
We see the danger signs hanging up all over the place
Batten down the hatches kid
Cover up your eyes and ears
Hunker down and wait and see
Oh my god it’s not for me
That’s no way to make a difference

Why are we all pretending
We’re worried the world is ending?
Talking the talk of the evening headlines
Walking the walk safely on the sidelines
Who do we think we’re fooling?
When this is the best we are doing
Talking the talk of the evening headlines
Walking the walk safely on the sidelines

No doubt the lives we live rank far from protection
Our wants and our desires are hampered
With too much selection
Someday have a big back yard
Saving for a brand new car
Hit the jackpot win it big
Then there’ll be enough to give
That’s no way to make a difference

Why are we all pretending
We’re worried the world is ending?
Talking the talk of the evening headlines
Walking the walk safely on the sidelines
Who do we think we’re fooling?
When this is the best we are doing
Talking the talk of the evening headlines
Walking the walk safely on the sidelines

It’s time to shut our stupid mouths
And do the things we keep shouting about
We’ve all got a remedy for pain
It’s time to act and make a change
