I think it's time we talked a while together
And I mean face to face
This time we don't just talk about the weather
I'll pick the time and the place
I think its time they told us what they're doing
It's turning to a disgrace
They promise us the world
But all we ever get from them is -

Shortchange - they got us standing in line
Shortchange - I think they're wasting our time
Shortchange - I'm looking round for a sign
Shortchange - life is a serious crime I think

It's time they came out of the darkness
I want to look in their eyes
They think that truth is something they can harness
I'm tired of hearing their lies
This time there's going to be a confrontation
And they will get the surprise
'cause they promise us the world
But all we ever get from them is-

Shortchange - they got us standing in line
Shortchange - I think they're wasting our time
Shortchange - I'm looking round for a sign
Shortchange - life is a serious crime I think

It's time we talked a while together - Talk a while Talk awhile,
I think it's time we talked awhile
I think it's time we talked together, face to face,
Face to face, face to face, let's talk together face to face
This time we don't just talk about the weather,talk about talk about,
the weather, we can talk about
'cause they promise us the world
But all we ever get from them is-

Shortchange - they got us standing in line
Shortchange - I think they're wasting our time
Shortchange - I'm looking round for a sign
Shortchange - life is a serious crime
Life is a serious crime
Life is a serious crime
