say it ain't so joe

say it ain´t so joe, please, say it ain´t so
that´s not what i wanna hear joe
ain´t i got a right to know
say it ain´t so Joe, please, say it ain´t so
i´m sure they´re telling us lies joe
please tell us it ain´t so

they told us that our hero has played his trump card
he doesn´t know how to go on
we´re clinging to his charm and determined smile
but the good ol´days have gone
the image and the empire may be falling apart
the money has gotten scarce
one man´s world held the country together
but the truth is getting fierce

ooh babies, don´t you think we´re gonna get burned
gonna get learned

say it ain´t so joe, please, say it ain´t so
we pinned our hopes on you joe
and they´re running our show

ooh babies, don´t you think we´re gonna get burned
we´re gonna get turned,
gonna get learned
