Fifty million voices mumbling from the street

Talking about the 80's and who it will mistreat

Now, Joseph Worken Hardy, checkin' out the jive

Glancing at his pocketbook, inflation is alive



I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk



Miss Sophisticated, your nose up in the air

Trying to find excitement, in the labels that you wear

Now, I may disappoint you, with the thins I say

But deep inside, a message burns withing me everyday



I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk



We're all the same, with different names

Will you play your role, just as you're told



Let me talk, let me talk, let me talk, let me talk



Won't you come on down, put your feet on the ground

Get in touch with you, let your love come thru



World automotives chase the Arab wheel

Partnerships on nuclear, trying to make a deal

Where does it all lead to

I'm sure the question flows,

Thru many minds around the world

I'm sure nobody knows



I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk



I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk
