Imagine if talk wasn’t cheapSome people’s bills probably would be steep
Some would need a couple credit cards
And some might even need to have a date with the bill collector
Or on the other hand a lot might not be said
And not everything would be repeat that our minds are feed
Many people could find themselves without jobs
The hypocrites, the parasites and even the jealous snobs
In this world where sometimes your friends are really not your friends
And some enemies turnout to be better when the road you’re on you can’t see the turns and bends
Even though talk is cheap it has the ability to destroy years of love, trust or friendship
Whether it’s true or not before you know it the script has been flip
So what if there was a price tag heavily when negativity is at heart
Especially with the more negative words being higher on the chart
The world could be a much brighter place
With a lot more smiles on each and every face
But don’t get me wrong I’m sure there will be times
Times when things will have to be said no matter if it’s much more than a couple dimes
The obvious still remains that it probably wouldn’t stop it all
And some people will still want to see you take a fall
But having to pay for your every word definitely could make some difference
And just maybe continue to create a bit of good influence
Because our world could go without a lot less negative words
That’s usually can take away someone’s sunshine or deafen you to the sweet singing of the birds
