Actions Speak Louder lyrics

Without love,

reason is so blind.

Within your heart,

you seek to be kind.

When your methods of madness have failed

and trail to the distance,

keep the silence,

hold your tongue

and see how I listen.

Who was it told me?

Actions speak louder

than words that you say,

people in power

and people at play.

Here's the man on the fence,

keeps asking, basking in the shade

of the next world's vision

where idle hands

forget what they've made.

Hear the motors outside,

they urge us to move on

and automation reigns supreme

like a dream you can lean on.

Somebody told me...

Actions speak louder

than words that you say,

people in power

and people at play.

Take me to midnight

with no more delay.

Somebody told me

actions speak louder

than words that you say.

Without love,

you're set up for a fall

when the shouts become whispers

and sleep like pure wine comes to call.

You must remember...

Actions speak louder

than words that you say,

people in power

and people at play.

Actions speak louder

than words that you say.

Take me to midnight

with no more delay.

Who was it told me?

Actions speak louder

than words that you say.

Actions speak louder

than words that you say.

Somebody told me

actions speak louder.

Who was it told me?

Actions speak louder.

You must remember,

actions speak louder.
