Talkin' Empty Talkin' 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 chimpanzees

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
