Why Do You Talk

It's the same old thing
You'd like to know why
Who made the earth move
Who made the sky high
Who made the earth move
Who made the sky high
Who made your blood red
Who made you think thoughts
Who made you breathe a breath
Tell me, why do you talk
Tell me, why do you talk
Tell me, why do you talk
Tell me, why do you talk

Why do you always talk
Why do you make sounds
Why don't you listen
Why do you talk so much
Why don't you listen
Why do you talk so much

Why don't you shut up

by LOU REED (1942-2013), in Pass Through Fire, the Collected Lyrics, Time Rocker, extract from the poem Why Do You Talk
