"Talk Back Mic" lyrics - MARC COHN

He's on a talk back mic
Say what you need to say
Tell your story and don't delay
He's on a talk back mic
Tell Him how you feel
Ya know what they say about squeaking wheels

Go on and tell your story
That's the reason that He put you here
Cause you've been walking down the road of glory
Just listen to the engineer

He's on a talk back mic
He's got infinite tracks
More than Motown, Sun or Stax (ah-ooh)
He's got the levels all set
And the red lights on
He's just waiting on you to sing your song

Maybe your a mover and shaker
Buying lots of beautiful toys
Remember when you meet your maker
He only wants to hear your voice

He's on a talk back mic
Sounds so clear
You got the heavenly faith in the engineer

Go on and tell your story
That's the reason that He put you down here
You'll be walking on the road to glory
If you listen to the engineer

He's on a talk back mic
Say what you need to say
Tell your story and don't delay
Tell your story and don't delay
Tell your story and don't delay

Talk back mic
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
Talk back
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
(Come on, get up)
Talk back mic
Talk back
(He on the)
Talk back mic (yeah)
Talk back mic
(Talk back mic)
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
(Come on)
Talk back mic
Talk back
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
(I hear You talking)
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
(Talk back mic)
Talk back mic
Talk back mic
