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 and I've got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe please say it ain't so

I'm sure that 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 old days have gone

 

Say it ain't so, Joe please say it ain't so

We pinned our hopes on you

Joe and now they’re ruining our show

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

 

The image and the empire may be falling apart

The money has gotten scarce

One man's word held the country together but the truth is getting fierce

 

Say it ain't so, Joe please say it ain't so

That's not what I wanna hear

Joe and I've got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so

We pinned our hopes on you

Joe and now they're ruining our show

 

We're gonna get burned

Don't you think we're gonna get burned

We're gonna get turned,

Don’t you think we’re gonna get turned

We're gonna get learned, we're gonna get turned

We're gonna get burned, we're gonna get learned

We're gonna get burned, burned

Say it ain't so, Joe please say it ain't so

That's not what I wanna hear

Joe and I've 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 old days have gone

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
