[Verse 1]
We can talk about it now
It's that same old riddle, only starts from the middle
I'd fix it, but I don't know how
Well, we could try to reason, but you might think it's treason
One voice for all
Echoing along the hall (Echoing along the hall, echoing along the hall)
Don't give up on father clock
We can talk about it now

[Verse 2]
Come, let me show you how
To keep the wheels turnin', you've got to keep the engines churnin'
Well, did ya ever milk a cow? (Milk a cow?)
I had the chance one day, but I was all dressed up for Sunday
Everybody, everywhere
Do you really care? (Do you really care?)
Well, then pick up your heads and walk
We can talk about it now

[Bridge]
It seems to me we've been holding something
Underneath our tongues
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
It would likely burst your lungs, woah
Stop me if I should sound kinda
Down in the mouth
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
Than to freeze here in the south
[Verse 3]
Pulling that eternal plough
We got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made
Rest a while and cool your brow
Don't ya see, there's no need to slave, the whip is in the grave
No salt, no trance
You know it's safe now to take a backward glance (You know it's safe to take a backward glance)
Because the flames have turned to chalk
We can talk about it now

[Outro]
We can talk about it now
