You've been saying 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 dawning
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
