A Sign Of The Ages
Gil Scott-Heron
Why Do I have to say it We We been here before No way For us to fake it Well there's something here You know we can't ignore They take your time With our people on the line They count us out Like their nickels and their dimes But all talk Small talk Empty talk 'Cause we know what's Ours is ours Not theirs to give us How Long Is it gonna take us Cause there's way too much at stake You Know They'd love to break us And turning on each other Is all that it would take You take your time With our people on the line You count us out Like your nickels and your dimes All talk Small talk Empty talk Cause we know what's Ours is ours Not yours to give us If this didn't matter I wouldn't be here I wouldn't be shouting If I didn't care You take your time With our people on the line You count us out Like your nickels and your dimes All talk Small talk Empty talk Cause we know what's Ours is ours Not yours to give us When Are we gonna wake up To the love That's deep inside Our world Is what we make it So all we gotta do Is make up our minds Is make up our minds They take their time With our people on the line (Is make up our minds) They count us out Like their nickels and their dimes (Make up our minds) All talk Small talk Empty talk 'Cause We know what's Ours is ours Not theirs to give us
