The Band - We Can Talk lyrics

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 (echoing) echoing along the hall Don't give up on father's clock We can talk about it now Come, let me show you how To keep the wheels turnin' you got to keep the engine 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! Everybody, everywhere: Do you really care? Well, then pick up your heads and walk We can talk about it now 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 Whoa, 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! 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 No salt, no trance It's safe now (you know it's safe) to take a backward glance Because the grains have turned to chow! We can talk about it now, We can talk about it now
