LYRICS
Verse
Today, the boss stormed down to the working place
He said, “You boys need to pick up the pace.
Profits are down, things ain’t going like I planned
I know we’re under-manned and the work piles up
But you gotta do more, or it’s gonna get rough”
I said, “Hey boss, I gotta tell you something man-to-man.”
Chorus
It’s straight talk time, time to get a few things straight
It’s straight talk time, we gotta cut right to the chase
With all due respect we’re falling behind
But if we work together, it’ll be alright
It’s time to get a few things straight; its straight talk time
Verse
My congressman came by our town
He said, “Times are hard, the economy’s down
The other party’s making trouble, yeah, it’s all on them”
I said, “We don’t want to hear no excuses, sir.
We voted you in to keep us all in work.
Mr. Congressman, I said it once, let me say it again.”
Chorus
It’s straight talk time, time to get a few things straight
It’s straight talk time, we gotta cut right to the chase
With all due respect we’re falling behind
But if we work together, it’ll be alright
It’s time to get a few things straight; its straight talk time
Bridge
This great country was built with brawn and sweat, calloused hands, and sunburned necks
Man, we’ve been so blessed but to keep our dreams, we can’t rest
Chorus
It’s straight talk time, time to get a few things straight
It’s straight talk time, we gotta cut right to the chase
There’s a lot to do to keep from falling behind
But if we work together, it’ll be alright
It’s time to get a few things straight; its straight talk time
Right now we got to leave all our differences behind cause it’s straight talk time
Its straight talk time
Its straight talk time
