Talking At The Same Time

Get a job, save your money, listen to Jane Everybody knows umbrellas cost more in the rain All the news is bad Is there any other kind? Everybody's talking at the same time Well everybody's talking at the same time It's hard times for some For others it's sweet Someone makes money when there's blood in the street Don't take any lip Stay in line Everybody's talking at the same time Well the dog is in the kitchen And the war drags on The trees wait by the freeway All the money is all gone Well she told me she would leave me I ignored all the signs And now everybody's talking at the same time Everybody's talking at the same time Ain't no one coming to pull you from the mud You gotta build your nest high enough to ride out the flood I know you're leaving and there's no more next time Everybody's talking at the same time A tiny boy sat and he played in the sand He made a sword from a stick And a gun from his hand Well we bailed out all the millionaires They've got the fruit We've got the rind And everybody's talking at the same time Everybody's talking at the same time --- Talking at the Same Time - Tom Waits
