D             Em  F#m G
We can talk about it now
           A
It's that same old riddle
Only starting from the middle
     D            Em   F#m   G
I'd fix it but I don't know how
                 A
Well, we could try to reason
But you might think it's treason

Chorus:
G             F
One voice for all
E7                 A
Echoing along the hall
Bm         Bm     G
Don't give up on father clock
A            Bm   C#m  D   A7
We can talk about it  now

Come, let me show you how
To keep the wheels turnin'
you got to keep the engines churnin'
Well, did ya ever milk a cow? (Milk a cow?)
Well, I had the chance one day but
I was all dressed up for Sunday!

Chorus:
Everybody, everywhere:
Do you really care?
Well, then pick up your heads and walk
We can talk about it now

    C                      E7
It seems to me we've been holding something
F
Underneath our tongues
       C                      E7
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
          F                 G
It would likely burst your lungs

      A        E
Oh, stop me if I should sound
       A            E
Kinda down in the mouth
         A                   E
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
          A         D           A  A  
Than to freeze here in the south

Pulling that eternal plough
We got to find a sharper blade,
or have a new one made
Rest awhile and cool your brow
Don't ya see, there's no need to slave,
the whip is in the grave

Chorus:
No salt, no trance
It's safe now (you know it's safe)
to take a backward glance
Because the flames have turned to chalk!
We can talk about it now
We can talk about it now
