Walk the Walk
by Michael Romani

You talk your talk
That you don't walk
You talk your talk
As you riot in the park
You talk your talk
Raging out your peace
You talk your talk
I wish you would cease

You talk your talk
Saying you believe in free speech
You talk your talk
While you tell me don't preach
You talk your talk
Calling believers in republicanism fascists
You talk your talk
Calling all the conservatives racists

You talk your talk
But won't let me talk mine
You talk your talk
Stick it where the sun doesn't shine
Until you can talk your talk
While allowing other views
You talk your talk 
Filled with the actual fake news

I talk my talk
And I walk my walk
Allowing you to talk your talk
And allowing you you're walk
Can you talk your talk
Without melting like the snow
Can you talk your talk
With allowing others peace to know

That we can talk our own talk
That we can walk our own walk
While allowing you to talk your own talk
Recognizing you have your own walk
Can you talk your talk
And allow me mine? if not, I'll walk...
Continuing to talk my own talk
Please don't balk....
