Talk Is Cheap Lyrics - Moving Up Living Down - Eric Hutchinson

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 never ending 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
