Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck
Cameo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ow
ump, ump, ump,(laughing) so you can see we're back into this same old mess. Seems like everytime we get out of one situation we're back into it all over again.
All you people that watch you talk, you better get it together or we won't get it done.We sit down while you cuss and fuss, but guess who's suffering, nobody but us.
Now we're a deticated people and we do our job. But the harder we work the game gets hard to beat. One for all and all for one but it's harder to play when you can't have fun.
chorus
Heeeeeeeeeey, you talking out the side of your neck.HEEEEEEy your gonna get what's comin to you yet.
You carry the weight but we carry the force and thats ain't fair so stop rockin the boat. You think you get away with political crimes. But don't take this for granted. Just get out of my house.Now some of the people some of the times but not all of your people all of the time.Trick you get, bored too. General Matt Conrad,Ronnie Reagon too.
chorus

(guitar)
cligdi

hosh posh?

chorus fades out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cameo's song Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck speak to a sense of frustration and exhaustion with the political climate and those in power who talk a big game but fail to deliver on their promises. The repeated phrase of "talking out the side of your neck" serves as a direct criticism towards those who engage in empty rhetoric and grandstanding without actually doing anything to help the people they claim to represent. The lyrics also touch on the division and inequality that can arise within a group or society, as some carry the weight while others reap the benefits without contributing equally.

2020 and we're still singing: "...So you can see we're back into this same old mess
Seems like every time we get out of one situation
We're back into it all over again

All you people in Washington
You better get it together or we won't get it done
We sit by while you cuss and fuss
But guess who suffers? Nobody but us

Now we're a dedicated people and we do our job
But the harder we work, the game gets hard
(The way it's supposed to be)
One for all and all for one
But it's harder to live when you can't have fun

Hey, you talking out the side of your neck
Hey, you're gonna get what's comin' to you yet

Now you carry the weight but we carry the vote
And that's been fair so stop rockin' the boat
You think you'll get away with political crimes
But don't take us for granted, they're still on our minds

Now some of the people, some of the time
But not all of your people all of the time
Tricky Dick, Ford too
Jimmy Mac Carter, Ronnie Reagan too

Hey, you talking out the side of your neck
Hey, you're gonna get what's comin' to you yet

Tweedly dee, tweedly dum
Tweedly dee, ho-hum
Tweedly dee, tweedly dum
Tweedly dee, tweedly dum

Hey, you talking out the side of your neck
Hey, you're gonna get what's comin' to you yet...."
