I drug my heart with doublespeak
And 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.
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
