"Chain Reaction" lyrics

"Chain Reaction"

Talk! Talk! Talk!

There's a cold-hearted whisper
From house to house it blew
A wicked chain reaction
In a rumored neighborhood
There's a bell chiming freedom
I heard it as a child
I couldn't resist the ringing
In my ears all the while

Chain reaction
Everybody's talkin'
Chain reaction

In the morning comes a silence
As he wakes up from his sleep
It takes a thousand tomorrow's
To wake up in a dream
He puts to bed the front page
Of his underground magazine
It started out as poetry
But turned into a scream

Chain reaction
Everybody's talkin'
Chain reaction

Can't get no satisfaction
Running 'round with a chain reaction
I got myself so
Tuned!

So!

The rhythm is infectious
It's got all the people jazzed
Are you groovin' to the message
Or do you just want to dance?
If everybody has one
Then everyone wants two
Well I put my glass to the wall in the fall
And I guess I found out nothin' at all

There's a chain reaction
Everybody's talkin'
There's a chain reaction
Chain reaction
Everybody's talkin'
Chain reaction

Can't get no satisfaction
Running 'round with a chain reaction
I got myself so
Chain reaction

Everybody's talkin'!
Everybody's talkin'!
Everybody's talkin'!

I got the chain reaction
I got the chain reaction

Everybody's talkin'!
Everybody's talkin'!

Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk!
