Wheels within wheels    You think you're such a big shot    Manipulate, whoever you can    Just as long as you get what you want    You promise the world    "Stick with me: and I'll make you a star    'Cause I know the game    I've got it all planned    Without me you won't get very far       You talk but you don't say anything    You talk and your words don't mean a thing    You just talk for the sake of talking       Knowin' all the right people    You've got an 'in' with everyone    But I've heard from your so called friends    And they're all sayin' your face is run    Never admit to being wrong    Keep losing in your quest for fame    Look for the ladder in someone else's song    Then at the top you shout your own name       You talk but you don't say anything    You talk and your words don't mean a thing    You just talk for the sake of talking       You talk but you don't say anything    You talk and your words don't mean a thing    You just talk for the sake of talking       You talk as if you've been everywhere before    You act as if you know so much more    You never talk to, but you always talk down    You wanna soar like an eagle    But you're stuck on the ground       You talk but you don't say anything    You talk and your words don't mean a thing    You just talk for the sake of talking    [Repeat]      You talk but you don't say anything
