we can talk

Lyrics

we can talk about it now, it's that same old riddle, only starts from the middle, i'd fix it but i don't know how, well, we could try to reason, but you might think it's treason, one voice for all, echoing echoing along the hall, don't give up on father's clock, we can talk about it now, come, let me show you how, to keep the wheels turnin' you got to keep the engine churnin', well, did ya ever milk a cow?, well, i had the chance one day but i was all dressed up for sunday!, everybody, everywhere: do you really care?, well, then pick up your heads and walk, we can talk about it now, it seems to me we've been holding something, underneath our tongues, i'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back, it would likely burst your lungs, whoa, stop me, if i should sound kinda, down in the mouth, but i'd rather be burned in canada, than to freeze here in the south!, pulling that eternal plough, we got to find a sharper blade, or have a new one made, rest awhile and cool your brow, don't ya see, there's no need to slave, the whip is in the grave, no salt, no trance, it's safe now to take a backward glance, because the grains have turned to chow!, we can talk about it now, we can talk about it now
