talking at the same time

Tom Waits

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?
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time
And everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time

Well itââ?¬â?¢s hard times for some, for others itââ?¬â?¢s sweet
Someone makes money when thereââ?¬â?¢s blood in the street
Donââ?¬â?¢t take any lip
Stay in line
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢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's gone
Well, she told me she would leave me
I ignored all the signs
And now everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time

Ainââ?¬â?¢t no one coming to pull you from the mud
You gotta build your nest high enough to ride out the flood
I know youââ?¬â?¢re leaving and thereââ?¬â?¢s no more next time
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢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
Theyââ?¬â?¢ve got the fruit, weââ?¬â?¢ve got the rind
And everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢s talking at the same time
