lyrics

Just bubbles in a bathtub
But poison was seeping to the bone, alone
In times the sages warned
No sign of a savior, we mourn, no
When selling off our decency ain’t a crime
Sends empathy cowering to the corners of our minds
And Nature sends an SOS
What could be wrong?
Money shouldn't talk that strong

(chorus) Let’s talk strong about our dreams
Celebrate our differences
Talk strong about the future
And love our planet home
Find honesty in our struggles
And courage in our strengths
Let’s talk until our sameness shines through
Like we're supposed to do

People without hope
Live their lives by their fears, oh whoa oh
And evil seems to grow
In all the neighbors we’re afraid to know, whoa oh
Scarcity echoes through our minds
Divided up, we’re lost of any voice that we could find
Our puzzle pieces scattered
When do we all belong?
Money shouldn’t talk that strong

When Bob and Phil and Joni wrote their songs oh so long ago, whoa oh
Did they see a future time
Living the same stories they sang to you, no
The world still carried by the poor
Color, race, religions, just steps from prison’s door
Let’s catch this moment
Start a new song
‘Cause money shouldn’t talk this strong
