Lyrics

[00:19.48] We can talk about it now
[00:23.41] It's that same old riddle
[00:25.95] Only starting from the middle
[00:28.71] I'd fix it but I don't know how
[00:32.75] Well, we could try to reason
[00:35.15] But you might think it's treason
[00:37.59]
[00:38.83] One voice for all
[00:42.66] Echoing along the hall
[00:47.40] Don't give up on father clock
[00:52.48] We can talk about it now
[00:55.46]
[00:58.84] Come, let me show you how
[01:03.15] To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
[01:06.04] Keep the engine churnin'
[01:08.16] But did you ever milk a cow
[01:12.57] I had the chance one day
[01:14.50] But I was all dressed up for Sunday
[01:17.19]
[01:18.21] Everybody, everywhere
[01:22.17] Do you really care
[01:26.77] Pick up your heads and walk
[01:31.62] We can talk about it now
[01:35.32]
[01:36.68] It seems to me we've been holding something
[01:41.49] Underneath our tongues
[01:45.46] I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
[01:50.12] It would likely burst your lungs
[01:53.71]
[01:54.18] Oh, stop me if I should sound
[01:59.25] Kinda down in the mouth
[02:04.18] But I'd rather be burned in Canada
[02:08.52] Than to freeze here in the south
[02:11.62]
[02:14.14] Pulling that eternal plough
[02:17.90] We've got to find a sharper blade
[02:21.35] Or have a new one made
[02:23.19] Rest awhile and cool your brow
[02:27.09] Don't you see there's no need to slave
[02:30.57] The whip is in the grave
[02:32.50]
[02:33.08] No salt, no trance
[02:36.52] It's safe now to take a backward glance
[02:41.17] Because the flames have turned to chalk
[02:46.39] We can talk about it now
[02:49.51]
[02:55.63] We can talk about it now
[02:58.68] ~~end~~
