[Intro:]
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
[Pre-Chorus:]
I don’t wanna know who really pulls the strings

[Chorus:]

While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you’ve seen a crime

[Verse:]
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
[Pre-Chorus:]
I don’t wanna know who really pulls the strings
Just as long as it’s not you or me
[Chorus 2x:]
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
[Instrumental bridge:]
[Chorus 2x:]
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
[Outro:]
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
