Talk The Talk

He can talk the talk, a pestilent hum
Jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none
But he can't walk the walk, it just comes on strong
Picking up bits and pieces of everyone

And he said
Because you need me (because you need me)
Can't do without me (can't do without me)
'Cause I'm Mr. Indispensable
You know you need me (you know you need me)
You can't replace me (you can't replace me)
'Cause I'm Mr. Indispensable
Mr. Indispensable

He can talk the talk as if he really cares
But the sound is dead air, going nowhere
When he tries to walk the walk, he just scrapes off the veneer
There's nothing, nothing there and he says

Because you need me (because you need me)
Can't do without me (can't do without me)
'Cause I'm Mr. Indispensable
You know you need me (you know you need me)
You can't do without me (can't do without me)
'Cause I'm Mr. Indispensable
You better forget, I've been having fun

He garners trust and fear from all of those he knows
But the secret kickbacks coming his way
Well, he can never disclose
He'll do anything that it takes
Mr. Indispensable

You know that you need me and that you can't live without me
'Cause I'm Mr. Indispensable (why can't he be expendable?)
(Talk, talk the talk) talk the talk
(Talk) his life, a pestilent hum (talk the talk)
He's a jack-of-all-trades, ain't no master-of-none (talk, talk the talk)
(Talk) he can talk the talk as if he really cares (talk the talk)
(Talk) but the sound is dead air, going nowhere (talk the talk)
(Talk, talk the talk)
