Conversational Songtext
von Stevie Mac

You read words upon the page and they cause you to seethe with rage
′Cause no words are ever kind enough
They send you out into the street where you have only known defeat
The vultures are circling above
Never made yourself amount to much, you use excuses as a crutch
You got out, but always had it tough
And when you find your spirit breaks, well you can always find a take
That holds you and smothers you with love


'Cause the thoughts that crystalized around your youth
Became the lens on which you grinded out your truth
And if you see it written down, but there′s no proof
Well it's just conversational
It's just conversational

The times you would see justice done, defend the right to keep your gun
Protection for the views you choose
Now you′ve tracked the problem to its source and lifted up your tiki torch
Elections are just another ruse
To those who′d have us reconcile, those folk would run a country mile
But someday they'll quit turning the screws
The voices just won′t go away so here's your independence day
They can′t stop you from singin' out the blues


′Cause the notions that imprint when you open up
Become the friendly voice you know that you can trust
And if the other side's ideas don't make the cut
Well they′re just conversational
They′re just conversational
