Chorus : Bad News Travels Fast / And If It's About You You'll Probably Hear



'bout It Last / But When They Press Up / And Check Up / And They Ask / You



Gotta Keep Perspective On The Future And The Past / And Laugh / While They



Keep Talkin' / Talk Talk Talkin / Chicken Heads Keep Squawkin' / Power



Of The Spoken Word Is Infinite / You Can Tell / Cuz People Are Always



Talking / Talking On The Run Talking While Walking, / Talking In Line,



Talking In Circles, / Talking In Time All Over The World / Talkin' 'bout



Whatever's On Their Mind- That's Fine / Talkin' 'bout Who They Hawkin, Who



They Watchin, Who They Clockin, / Who They Heard Was Up To Something



Poppin' / Always Talkin' About Who They Remember And Who's Forgotten /



Who's Rockin' The Set And Who's Floppin', Droppin' Out / Talkin' 'bout



People From The Cradle To The Coffin / Talkin' 'bout People, Talkin' 'bout



People, Talkin' 'bout People, / Talkin' 'bout People Non-stop Talkin' Often



/Chorus /People Talk Shit / Their Minds Reinforce It / Spittin' Out Words



And Thoughts That Are Amorphous / Pushin' Sloppy Sound Out Of Their Vocal



Orifice / Like It Ain't Bein' Recorded / Sometimes A Words Scorch Is Worse



Than Torches / Whats More / Is The Talk Aint Uniform Or Rehearsed / It's



The Richest, The Poorest,/ From CEO Boardrooms To Porches To Alley Ways And



Gutters / From Coast To Coast, East To West, South To North / It's People



Talking Of Course! / Like Life Is A Courtroom / Most Bullshittin' From



Midnight To High Noon And Back Again / Blacks And The Blacker Thans /



Whites And The Africans / Far To Little Action Far To Much Satisfaction /



In Philanderin' Usin' Sex Like A Sedative / Repetitive Like Rhetoric / I'm



Bettin' Ya Think Ya Nice Cuz You Give Free Add-vi
