Gary Brooker - Say It Ain't So Joe Lyrics

(Murray Head)

Say it ain't so Joe
Please, say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe
And I got a right to know
Say it ain't so Joe
Please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe
please, tell us it ain't so
They told us that our hero
Had played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm & determined smile
But the good old days have gone.
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
one mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce.
Say it ain't so Joe
Please say it ain't so
We've pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show
Oh baby don't you think we're gonna get burned
Oh baby don't you think we're gonna get burned
We're gonna get turned, we're gonna get learned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get burned
