TALK
by WD Picou

Taking potshots
Without an aim
Gunslinging is such a dangerous game
Too little to do
Too much time
Talk, talk, talk
Is such a dangerous crime

Talk is cheap
Talk is free
You get drafted
To the hall of infamy

Tell me, darling,
What's on your mind
There must be a reason
For all your prying
Pointing your finger
But I don't know why
Look into the mirror
You've got dirt in your eye

Talk is cheap
Talk is free
You get drafted
To the hall of infamy

Freelancers
With their poison pens
And their sharp tongues
And their noses for sin
They back stab
Just in self defense
Then they brag about their innocence
