Talkback - Stiff Little Fingers

Every time I go to speak my mind you just ignore me

Every time I try to have my say you have it for me

They say there’s freedom of speech

But when I try to make free you say

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Every time

Every time I ask you to lend an ear I get both together

Everything I say just goes in one and out the other

They say there’s freedom of thought

But when I think out aloud you say

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Now you must see reason

See that I’m a person

Shut you face and listen, ain’t it time

And if you open your mouth

I’ll jump straight down you throat and say

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Don’t you talk back to me

Any time
