Doublespeak

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 want to 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 want to 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

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, look the other way?

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 (I drug my heart with doublespeak)

All my misgivings disappear (all my misgivings disappear)

It helps to keep my conscience clean (it helps to keep my conscience clean)

The ends will justify the means (the ends will justify the means)

But still, I'm always careful what I hear (I'm always careful what I)
