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 telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain´t so.

They told us our hero has played his trump card
He doesn´t know how to go on.
We´re clinging to his charm and determined smile,
But the good old days have gone.

The image and the empire may be failing 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 hope on you Joe
And they´re ruining our show

Ooh babies,don´t you think we´re gonna get burned

We´re gonna get turned,
We´re gonna get numed
yes we´re gonna get turned
we´re gonna get burned
We´re gonna get numed

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

Say it ain´t so Joe,please,say it ain´t so
That´s not what I wanna hear Joe
Say it ain´t so Joe,please,say it ain´t so
