You who thought your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you who had seen men dyin'
You heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silenceAnd you who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then you'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of lifeAnd the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you, no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you, no wayAnd the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you, no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe youAnd you who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then you'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of lifeWhile your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Women weep in silence
