MANNY FREISER: Music
CAN'T BELIEVE
(MANNY FREISER)
MANNY FREISER
Inspired by the nasty Presidential campaign -- and what has followed...
THEY TWIST THE FACTS TO SUIT THEM
AND NEVER BLINK AN EYE
AND WE FOLLOW THEM LIKE CHILDREN
NEVER QUESTION WHY
JUST BECAUSE IT’S SPOKEN
DOESN’T MAKE IT TRUE
BUT WHEN IT ECHOES – AND IT ECHOES
THE LAST LAUGH IS ON ME & YOU
NO WE’RE NOT THAT DUMB - PERHAPS A LITTLE NUMB
NO YOU JUST CAN’T BELIEVE EVERY WORD THAT YOU HEAR
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT THEY’RE PLAYING ON OUR DEEPEST FEARS
NO YOU JUST CAN’T BELIEVE EVERY WORD THAT YOU HEAR
EVENTUALLY IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR
EVEN AS WE STRUGGLE
TO FIND THE ENDS THAT MEET
THEY GATHER ALL THE TREASURE
WHILE THE CHILDREN BLEED
EACH CLAIMS THEY’RE NOT AT FAULT - THE OTHER DID IT ALL
REPEAT CHORUS
SO WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER
FACE A BRAND NEW DAY
EMERGE FROM THE CONFUSION
CHANGE IS ON THE WAY
JUST LET THEM BABBLE ON - NO NEED TO PLAY ALONG
REPEAT CHORUS
