Van Morrison - The Great Deception lyrics
Van Morrison Did you ever hear about the great deception Well the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run Have you ever been down to love city Where they rip you off with a smile And it don't take a gun Don't it hurt so bad in love city Don't it make you not want to bother at all And don't they look so self righteous When they pin you up against the wall Did you ever, ever see the people With the tear drops in their eyes I just can't stand it, stand it no how Living in this world of lies Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singers Got three or four Cadillacs Saying power to the people, dance to the music Wants you to pat him on the back Have you ever heard about the great Rembrandt Have you ever heard about how he could paint And he didn't have enough money for his brushes And they thought it was rather quaint But you know it's no use repeating And you know it's no use to think about it 'Cause when you stop to think about it You don't need it Have you ever heard about the great Hollywood motion picture actor Who knew more than they did And the newspapers didn't cover the story Just decided to keep it hid. Somebody started saying it was an inside job Whatever happened to him? Last time they saw him down on the Bow'ry With his lip hanging off an old rusty bottle of gin Have you ever heard about the so-called hippies Down on the far side of the tracks They take the eyeballs straight out of your head Say son, kid, do you want your eyeballs back Did you ever see the people With the tear drops in their eyes Just can't stand it no how Living in this world of lies |
