Say it ain't So...

Funny how old songs can gain new relevance.  Here's Roger Daltry singing Murray Head's Say it Ain't so Joe. Lyrics are below.


Here are the lyrics...

Say It Ain't So, Joe (1975)
by Murray Head

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 word held the country together,
But the truth is getting fierce.
Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so.
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're, ruining our show.

Ooh babies, don't you think; we're gonna get burned?
Ooh babies, don't you think; we're gonna get burned?
We're gonna get turned, we're gonna get learned,
Yes, we're gonna get turned.
We're gonna get burned, we're gonna get learned,
Yes, we're gonna get burned.
We're gonna get burned, we're gonna get learned,
Yes, we're gonna get turned, we're gonna get burned.
