All Talk

I got this feeling
No-one out there cares
My head is reeling
More than I can bear
Such a sense of isolation
Sweeping all across the nation
I don't trust you phoney big-shot
And your mock concern
I see through your empty gesture
And I've finally learned

You're all talk
And you don't say nothing
You're all talk
And you don't say nothing to me

Your words can't stop
The pain I feel inside
Don't understand why
We should be denied
Listen, can you hear the drumming
Has to be a change a-coming
And I ain't no holy preacher
So I ain't no saint
But I do know right from wrong
And I know your game

You're all talk
And you don't say nothing
You're all talk
And you don't say nothing to me

All around me I can see corruption
Lies and settling for the easy option
All round me I can see hearts breaking
There ain't no sign of giving just taking

Don't try and make a fool of me
Save your breath to cool your coffee
Oh the speeches you deliver
Your lip-service makes me shiver

I ain't fooled by politicians
Yakety yack
Or smiling tycoons
Stab me in the back

You're all talk
But you don't say nothing
You're all talk
But you won't do nothing for me
You're all talk
But you don't say nothing
You're all talk
No you don't sat nothing to me.
