Gary Brooker Say It Ain`t So Joe Lyrics

Say It Ain`t So Joe Lyrics

(Murray Head) 

Say it ain't so Joe 
Please, say it ain't so 
That's not what I want to hear Joe 
And 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 
Had played his trump card 
He doesn't know how to go on 
We're clinging to his charm & determined smile 
But the good old days have gone. 

The image and the empire may be falling apart 
The money has gotten scarce 
one mans word held the country together 
But the truth is getting fierce. 

Say it ain't so Joe 
Please say it ain't so 
We've pinned our hopes on you Joe 
And they're ruining our show 

Oh baby don't you think we're gonna get burned 
Oh baby don't you think we're gonna get burned 
We're gonna get turned, we're gonna get learned 
We're gonna get burned 
We're gonna get burned 
We're gonna get burned
