Talk Is Cheap Lyrics


Talk is cheap, and I should know
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
People mean well, but still make a mess
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath
Lately I'm losing my appetite
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites
Who just talk
And this is what we do, we just talk
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine
Or rehash what the television shows all mean
It's just talk
And this is what we do, we just talk
Some people don't know how they really feel
Some people won't talk about what is real
And I could never chitchat all day long
Some people just look for an open ear
Some people don't care what you want to hear
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along

I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Lately I'm tired of politics
And listening to the neverending arguments
That just stall
And this is what we do, we just stall
Never know someone to change their mind
After a heated debate over the moral lines
We just crossed
But this is what we do, we just talk
Some people get cute and they draw the line
Some people won't choose over left and right
And I could never stomach all that greed
Some people don't care enough
Some people get scared enough
To get talked into something that they think they should believe
I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Some people, some people, some people
Think action is overdue
Some people, some people, some people
Can't wait, we've got work to do
I only speak of what I've done
Cause talk is cheap
And if you're listening, everyone
But you talk when you're talking to me
I'll go by what to do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Street Sweeper Social Club is an American rock band consisting of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and Boots Riley (The Coup). Stanton Moore (Galactic) performed drums on their upcoming album. Their first known performance as "Street Sweeper" was at the Commodore Ballroom (2008-11-06), where they played a song called 100 Little Curses.

They have recorded their first album Street Sweeper Social Club, which was released on June 16th on East West Records.

- 'It's revolutionary party jams' says Tom Morello 'It's got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom'.

Riley added, - 'This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They'll need something to listen to on their ipods while storming Wall Street...'

Their official web site: http://streetsweepersocialclub.com/, features a track called Paper Planes

"The Ghetto Blaster EP" is an EP from Street Sweeper Social Club. The EP is released on August 10, 2010. It features covers of "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. and "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J as well a remix of the bands second single "Promenade". They will also cover The Coup song "Everythang". It has also been confirmed that the full touring band has recorded on the album. Tom Morello spoke on the new EP in a press release, saying that they are shooting for an interesting combination of groups. "On The Ghetto Blaster EP we were shooting for a combo of the first Clash record and the Ohio Players greatest hits, interwoven with tractor trailer size riffs of course. This record definitely has more of a 'band' feel than the first, and Boots’ lyrics and delivery have never been sharper." Boots Riley has also said of the upcoming EP “We got a new EP that’s going to come out called The Ghetto Blaster EP. [You can expect] hard, hard, hard music and some raw as lyrics on top.”
