Action Talks Lyrics


(Keith, Skeoch)Hey, what's the deal man, don't it feel like something's goin' on
What's goin' down what's goin' around, and I'm gonna get some
What's this I see, a familiar face, and it's coming my way
I said I don't know who it is, it might be you and this just might be my dayAction talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - start talking, or get your walking
Action talks - start making your move on me-yeah-yeahSure was not nice, but wasn't going right, forget the consequences
Let's work it out instead of workin' out
We'll work it over till we get it right
What's this I need, now what's this I like, it came, you sent it my way
Till I realized all the innocent lies, it was gonna take my heart outta meAction talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - we got something to say
Action talks - nobody talkin', ain't no one walkin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday[Solo]So here's the deal, it looks like it feels, they got it goin' on
They know it's going down what's going around, while we're waiting, how come
So the queen don't get to lose the president
Don't hear a word they say (fuck you!)
They come together as one and maybe get the job done

Instead of blaming yesterdayAction talks - action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - no use in cryin', no use in runnin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday
Action talks - no blamin' yesterday, say what you mean
Say what you mean (oh talk to me, talk, talk)
Say what you mean (just talk to me), say what you mean
Start talkin', start talkin', start talkin'
Say what you mean, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to say
Say what you mean, nobody's stoppin' you, nobody's stoppin' you
So tell me, what the fuck don't you say

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
