Talk it to death

You have to laugh a lot at what we throw away that half the Earth's not got And who's in charge when there's barbed-wire fences 'round the graveyards And I know it's about time we got to the point we've been denying Maligning problems of the world is fine But I can't keep talking when it's running through my mind  So I've got the feeling and you've got the feeling I guess It's on the tips of our tongues it's at the base of our breath But though the night is young it will grow up before too long So say yes....
before we talk talk talk it to death  Beneath the sewers there's stone Beneath the stone there's the water which we pipe into our homes So when the rich mock what's below them They mock the whiskey and the beer and every burgundy they own And I know now who's in love with you so let's stop the conversation and see I don't want you to think or hesitate when I declare that who to be me  So I've got the feeling and you've got the feeling I guess It's on the tips of our tongues it's at the base of our breath But though the night is young it will grow up before too long So say yes....
before we talk talk talk it to death  Okay girl, we both know outside this room there's boardrooms of creeps Calling famine kids cannibals and killing for cameras But tonight, it's right, and forgive me for noticing You're wearing a dress So let's not talk this to death  Now I'm stuffing coins into a meter And I'm cold and I'm bored and I've wasted all my food My mind is rotting while my eyes are glued To the last few minutes of the flickering tube And we know things get repeated, so no one gives themselves away We try to disguise our feelings, but we just talk them all completely away  So I've got the feeling and you've got the feeling I guess It's on the tips of our tongues it's at the base of our breath But though the night is young it will grow up before too long So say yes....
before we talk talk talk it to death
