Say It Ain't So, Joe Lyrics

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear, Joe
And I've got a right to knowSay 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 soThey 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 old days are goneThe army 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 fierceSay it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you, Joe
And they're ruining our show(Ohh, babies)

Don't you think we're gonna get burned
(Ohh, babies)
Don't you think we're gonna get turnedWe're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
We're going to get turned
We're going to get burned
We're going to get burnedOhh, learn
Turn, burned
Ohh, burned, yeahSay it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear
Joe, please tell us it ain't soSay it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies, Joe
And I've got a right to knowThey 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 old days are goneThe army 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 fierceSay it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear, Joe
And I've got a right to knowSay it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
They keep on telling us lies Joe
Please tell us it ain't soSay, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
'Cause I've got a right to know
