Actions Speak Louder Than Words

(专辑： A Matter Of Life... And Death - 1987)

You can't eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree that it came from
And you can't hate the father and still love his son
And you can't talk of peace while you carry a gun
Cause actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words don't you know
Flowers all grow from the seeds that we sow
But a weed's still a weed boy wherever it grows
And actions speak louder than words

Hey son always sit with your back to the wall
The bigger they come boy the harder they fall
And you can't learn to walk till you learn how to crawl
And actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words can't you tell
You can't get to heaven by going through hell
And your soul is the one thing you better not sell
Cause actions speak louder than words

Hey son always try to be one of a kind
Don't walk behind when the blind lead the blind
You can follow your heart son but think with your mind
Cause actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words so they say
Time is a thief son and crime just don't pay
There are times you should cry boy and times you should pray
Cause actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words can't you see
If your mind's in prison your soul can't be free
And you can't eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree
Cause actions speak louder than words
