Talk is Cheap

Talk is Cheap
© 180220 John Schuur



When you’re feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
like any other sensitive soul
Living in despair

Waiting for traffic lights
The show’s about to pop
Only few are willing to give
To give you one leg up
Now..

Chorus I

That’s what you got
Talk is cheap
When you’re all mixed up
You’ve got to leave
At the very next stop
Empty deeds ,
Thanx a lot

Promises keep piling up
It’s driving you crazy
A deadline is not a shore line
Worries are grains of sand
Between your Flip flops
Falling trough your hands

Your speciality is doing not
The things you should do
Driving people nuts
Now what’s your excuse?

Chorus I

That’s what you got
Talk is cheap
When you’re all mixed up
You’ve got to leave
At the very next stop
Talk is cheap
In case you forgot ….

Bridge

(All that responsibility)
Making ends meet
Procrastination
You’ve got the taxman to please
Get up on your feet


Chorus II

Before the bills pile up
Before there’s a loanshark’s
On your block
Now that’s what you got
Talk is cheap
In case you forgot
