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 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.

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.
