I drug my heart with doublespeak,
All my misgivings disappear.
It helps to keep my conscience clean.
(The ends will justify the means,)
But still I´m always careful what I hear.

I don´t wanna know who really pulls the strings,
Just as long as it´s not you or me.

There´s a jackboot toe tap keeping time,
while the children dance and play.
Honey, if you think you´ve seen a crime,
you just look the other way.

I slowly carve my soul away.
Piece by piece I sacrifice.
To comfort and peace of mind
(I keep my toes on the party line.)
There´s nothing wrong dear, don´t think twice.

I don´t wanna know who really pulls the strings,
Just as long as it´s not you or me.

There´s a jackboot toe tap keeping time,
while the children dance and play.
Honey, if you think you´ve seen a crime,
won´t you look the other way.

Honey, if you think you´ve seen a crime,
won´t you look the other, look the other way.
