Lyrics

Well i heard bad news by the man in the street, How his shades are cool and his belts are sweet, Ska music, reggae its the same old beat, But its different clothes and a new wave beat, Talk is cheap Paying his dues cause nothing is free And hes making a deal, thats nothing to me And he misses a point, that you cant see This is 87 not 63 And he talked to me about the problems of the world They try to go to a best friends point Talk to me about picking up the slack Turned around and slapped me right in the back Well i heard bad news from the man in the street How his belts are cool and his shades are sweet Ska music, reggae its the same old beat, But its different clothes on a new wave beat, And i heard that rap about unity Now only words but the beards are free Talk to me about picking up the slack Turned around and slapped me right in the back Talk is cheap Yeah talk is cheap Talk is cheap
