Everybody’s Talkin’

Lyrics

Everybody's yakkin' Everybody's yellin' Nobody's listenin' 'Cause ev'rybody's tellin' you What to do with With the only life you got Well, everybody's talkin' And I'd rather not Everybody's screechin' Everybody's cryin' Everybody's preachin' Everybody's lyin' God up in heaven is Goin' out of his mind He's prayin' you people Will just shut up sometime Here comes a newsman Gather 'round the news van Rumor's goin' 'round He's got the actual facts He's up there on TV Givin' me the L.D Really disagree But I can't talk back Everybody's jokin' Everybody's laughin' Everybody's chokin' Everybody's gaspin' A hot wind's blowin' And we're runnin' out of air Everybody's talkin' But nobody really cares Everybody's chattin' Everybody's chantin' Everybody's ravin' Everybody's grantin' Headset's hardwired Keepin' my brain alive Hooked up twenty-four seven Three sixty-five Everybody's jivin' Everybody's jawin' Everybody's hemmin' Everybody's hawin' The volume up to eleven The last time I heard, well The song keeps playin' But I can't hear the words Down on the bayou Eatin' jambalaya Discussin' architecture of the fishin' shack Me-o, my-oh! I'm just getting' high-o In the bottom of a barrel With a bottle of Jack Dogs are barkin' Birds are singin' Parrots are squawkin' Monkeys are swingin' As I drift off to dreamland Dark and deep I woke myself up Talkin' in my sleep Well I thought I'd get out of reach I headed for Miami Beach There's a racket goin' on I think I had a heart attack I think I'll fly back to New York City And just kick back
