ensemble
theres a face that we wear
in the cold light of day -
its societys mask
its societys way
and the truth is
that its all a façade!
theres a face that we hide
till the nighttime appears
and whats hiding inside
behind all of our fears
is our true self
locked inside the façade!
every day
people
in their own sweet way
like to add a coat of paint
and be what they aint!
thats how our little -
game is played
livin like a masquerade
actin a bizarre charade -
while playing the saint!
but theres one thing i know
and i know it for sure
this disease that weve got
has got no ready cure!
and im certain
life is terribly hard -
when your lifes a façade!
look around you!
i have found
you cannot tell
by lookin at the surface
what is lurkin there beneath it!
see that face!
now
im prepared to bet you
what you sees not what you get -
cause mans a master of deceit !
so
what is the sinister secret?
the lie he will tell you is true? -
its that each man you meet
in the street
isnt one man but two!
nearly everyone you see -
like him an her
an you
an me -
pretends to be
a pillar of society -
a model for propriety -
sobriety
an piety -
who shudders at the thought
of notoriety!
the ladies an gents ere before you -
which none of em ever admits -
may ave saintly looks -
but theyre sinners an crooks!
hypocrites!
hypocrites!
there are preachers who kill!
there are killers who preach!
there are teachers who lie!
there are liars who teach!
take yer pick
dear -
cause its all a façade!
if were not one
but two
are we evil or good?
do we walk the fine line -
that wed cross if we could?
are we waiting -
to break through the façade?
one or two
might look kinda well-to-do -
hah! theyre bad as me an you
right down theyre boots!
im inclined to think -
half mankind
thinks the other half is blind!
wouldnt be surprise to find -
theyre all in cahoots!
at the end of the day
they dont mean what they say
they dont say what they mean
they dont ever come clean -
and the answer -
is its all a façade!
is its all a façade!
man is not one
but two
he is evil and good
an he walks the fine line
wed all cross if we could!
its a nightmare -
we can never discard -
so we stay on our guard -
though we love the façade -
whats behind the façade?
look behind the façade!
