Talk...it's all talk.

[driver8]

Talk, its only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers,
Articulate announcements
Its only talk

Talk, its only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, boulderdash, ballyhoo
Its only talk
Back talk

Talk talk talk, its only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat,
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
Its only talk
Cheap talk

Talk, talk, its only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a d this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe,
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, its all talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
Its all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk

These lyrics from King Crimson seem to fit our government and the way that things seem to happen these days. "Someone said this" or "So and So promised that" or "debate is needed" and "support the troops".

Talk is cheap these days...and getting cheaper. While our fearless leaders debate "the surge", more and more of our troops are dying every day. I am so fucking pissed off these days I can hardly stand it. Every trip to DU brings a knot to my stomach and more and more anger to my head. Our soldiers get screwed in Iraq, boned when (if) they make it back, and royally f*cked if they end up at Walter Reed. Not only that, but their families get the shaft while they are gone.

I sure hope that the Democrats in Congress can stir some shit up and start making things happen...our country has never needed action more than it does now. I really am starting to worry about what the future holds for all of us. I have tried to remain optimistic, but I can feel my optimism slipping away. We have a dictator(s) running the country, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, a Constitution that doesn't seem to mean much anymore and a Congress that doesn't feel it's necessary to remove junior and his cronies.

I really need some hope, man...someone give me some hope.

Thanks for the laugh...

3. It's the wimpiest guitar playing

Since Greg Brady rocked out as Johnny Bravo!

Seriously, I know what you mean. You have to step away from it all sometimes and mentally recharge yourself in times like this. Cutting out the news (which is horrible since I'm a news junkie)for 5-7 days is my way of choice; Sometimes it's like poison....

8. Johnny Bravo was the shiz-nit...

and, he fit the suit!!

4. Oh man.. I could only get through half...

did the guy ever find a third chord?

6. I see him practicing in front of his mirror

using his hair dryer as a stand-in in for the wind machine...

9. I only got through about half, also.

The crowd scenes cracked me up -- he was singing to the Hell's Angels at Altamont!! :headbang:

5. That album kicks ass.

I knew that's what you were on about when I saw the thread title. Great song.

[driver8]

7. I always think of that song when I watch the idiots on the news.

Lots of talk and that's it -- It's all talk!

Yeah, I love that album, too.

10. Driver 8 is a good song, too.
