Facade

ENSEMBLE:
There's a face that we wear in the cold light of day.

It's society's mask, it's society's way.

And the truth is, that's it's all a Facade.

There's a face that we hide til the nighttime appears.

And what's hiding inside behind all of our fears, is our true self, locked inside the facade!

Ev'ry day, people in they're own sweet way, like to wear a coat of paint, and be what they ain't.

That how our little game is played.

Living on a masquerade.

Actin' a bizarre charade.

While playing the saint!

But there's one thing I know, and I know it for sure!

This disease that we got, has got no ready-cure.

And I'm certain, life is terrible hard,

When your life's a facade!

Look around you, I have found.

You cannot tell by lookin' at the surface what is lurking there beneath it.

See that face, now I'm prepared to bet you.

What you sees not what you get cause man's a master of deceit!

So what is the sinister secret?

The lie he will tell you is true?

Is that each man you meet on the street isn't one man, but two.

Nearly ev'ry one you see like him 'an her 'an you' and me, pretends to be a pillar of society.

A model of proprietary, sobriety an' piety, who shudders up the thought of notoriety!

The ladies an' gents 'ere before you, which none of 'em ever admits.

May have saintly looks.

But they're sinners and crooks!

Hypocrites!

Hypocrites!

There are preacher who kill, there are killers who preach!

There are teachers who lie, there are liars who teach!

Take yer pick, dear! Cos it's all a facade!

If we're not one but two, are we evil or good?

Do we walk the fine line that we'd cross if we could?

Are we waiting to break through the facade?

One or two, might look kinda well-to-do.

Ha!

They're as bad as me 'an you.

Right down to their boots!

I'm inclined to think, half mankind, thinks the other half is blind.

Wouldn't be surprised to find, they're all in cahoots!

At the end of the day, they don't mean what they say.

They don't say what the mean, they don't ever come clean.

'An the answer, is it's all a facade!

Man is not one but two, he is evil and good.

And he walks the fine line, we'd all cross if we could.

It's a nightmare.

We can never discard!

So we stay on our guard!

Though we love the facade!

What's behind the facade?

Look behind....

The facade!
