When will you ever recognise?

You see, you push it in the corners

Keep it in the background

Work it out

Rather stick it in the background

Dead weight to carry around

Nothing to believe in

Keep it in the background

Raise a doubt

They try to pull the wool over our eyes And tell us everything's alright

Why don't you keep it in the background?

You've got me to worry about tonight

Why don't you keep it in the corners?

Why don't you see it's beaming in the sunshine ?

I guess you might as well try

Guess you might as well try

Oh no, I say, you got it wrong

Oh no, I say, you got it wrong

Oh no, I say, you got it wrong

I say

There's no more keep it in the background

Dead weight to carry around

Nothing to believe in

I tell you something

You've got the wrong idea

You've got the wrong idea
