Lyrics
Talkback
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time I go to speak my mind you just ignore me
Every time I try to have my say you have it for me
They say there's freedom of speech
But when I try to make free you say
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Every time
Every time I ask you to lend an ear I get both together
Everything I say just goes in one and out the other
They say there's freedom of thought
But when I think out aloud you say
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Now you must see reason
See that I'm a person
Shut you face and listen, ain't it time
And if you open your mouth
I'll jump straight down you throat and say
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Don't you talk back to me
Any time
