We Can Talk

We can talk about it now

It's that same old riddle, only starts from the middle

I'd fix it but I don't know how

Well, we could try to reason, but you might think it's treason

One voice for all

Echoing (echoing) echoing along the hall

Don't give up on father's clock

We can talk about it now

Come, let me show you how

To keep the wheels turnin' you got to keep the engine churnin'

Well, did ya ever milk a cow? (Milk a cow?)

Well, I had the chance one day but I was all dressed up for Sunday!

Everybody, everywhere:

Do you really care?

Well, then pick up your heads and walk

We can talk about it now

It seems to me we've been holding something

Underneath our tongues

I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back

It would likely burst your lungs

Whoa, stop me, if I should sound kinda

Down in the mouth

But I'd rather be burned in Canada

Than to freeze here in the South!

Pulling that eternal plough

We got to find a sharper blade, or have a new one made

Rest awhile and cool your brow

Don't ya see, there's no need to slave, the whip is in the grave

No salt, no trance

It's safe now (you know it's safe) to take a backward glance

Because the grains have turned to chow!

We can talk about it now,

We can talk about it now
