You've been sayin' the words I wanna hear
I feel like I'm dreaming
Even though I hear 'em loud and clear
I know you don't mean 'em

All our children screaming in pain
Take it as a warning
I see my baby standing in the rain
There's a new day dawnin'

One thing that frightens me
You ain't learned nothing from the cradle to the grave
Don't talk to me
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk to you
I don't wanna talk about it

You used to sparkle like a jewel
The pride of the collection
But pride's for aliens and fools who rely on natural 
selection
Emotional immersion, cerebral contortions
You're in need of a conversion of biblical proportions

One thing that frightens me
You ain't learned nothing from the cradle to the grave
Don't talk to me
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk to you
I don't wanna talk about it

Promises fall easy from the lips, babe
I've heard them all before
You've gotta see it's time for action
Don't feed me empty words no more

Don't talk to me, don't talk to me
I love you, but baby, you make it hard
I'm waiting for the magic sign
That shows me your convictions are just as strong as 
mine

Baby, don't talk to me no more
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk to you
I don't wanna talk about it

Baby, we could dance together
Dance away the rest of our lives cheek to cheek
Eye on eye, mind in mind
Your mind in tune with mine
