Talk Is Cheap

How did he get so much on his plate

And then drop it over the floor

The greatest things come to those who just wait

I don't wanna wait, anymore

Whole town on his back

But he's worth the weight

If he never came back

Then he'd still be great

Never made a mistake

Then he made a mistake

He had nothing to lose

Now there's nothing to gain

They always showed him on tv

Playing the game that he loved

They say pressure forms diamonds

The kid was born in the rough

That's before he turned 16

'Fore the kid knew enough

Then he hung out, with the ones that

Now are selling him drugs

The kid, he used to be someone

Everyone would admire

Now they're calling him "once was"

Now he's calling them liars

Wheels are always in motion

Talk will always be cheap

I'm so tired of this bullshit

I'm so tired, I can't sleep

Tommy John's in his right arm

Jimmy John's in his left

He ain't moved it in so long

The kid might run outta breath

Now he's pissed at the whole world

At least that's what he says

I believe that, on the inside

The kid just couldn't care less

The kid, he used to be someone

Everyone would admire

Now they're calling him "once was"

Now he's calling them liars

Wheels are always in motion

Talk will always be cheap

I'm so tired of this bullshit

I'm so tired, I can't sleep

Now he's working downtown

At a place like home

But when he leaves

He can't go home

Wants to work till he's old

First he's gotta grow up

Cuz you can't get old

If you never grow up

The man, he wishes he were to someone

Everyone could admire

When I tell him he once he was

He looks at me like I'm lying

Wheels are always in motion

Talk will always be cheap

I'm so tired of this bullshit

I'm so tired, I can't sleep
