Say It Ain't So, Joe

Murray Head

Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't 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 has played his joker
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ol' days have gone

The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show

Ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
Ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
we're gonna get turned, we're gonna get learned
Yes, we're gonna get turned, we're gonna get burned
we're gonna get learned, 
Yes,we're gonna get burned
we're gonna get burned, we're gonna get learned
yes, we're gonna get turned, we're gonna get burned
