Well i heard bad news by the man in the street,
how his shades are cool and his belts are sweet,
ska music, reggae its the same old beat,
but its different clothes and a new wave beat,
talk is cheap
paying his dues cause nothing is free
and hes making a deal, thats nothing to me
and he misses a point, that you cant see
this is 87 not 63
and he talked to me about the problems of the world
they try to go to a best friends point
talk to me about picking up the slack
turned around and slapped me right in the back
well i heard bad news from the man in the street
how his belts are cool and his shades are sweet
ska music, reggae its the same old beat,
but its different clothes on a new wave beat,
and i heard that rap about unity
now only words but the beards are free
talk to me about picking up the slack
turned around and slapped me right in the back
talk is cheap
yeah talk is cheap
talk is cheap
