ENSEMBLE:
2
There's a face that we wear
3
In the cold light of day -
4
It's society's mask,
5
It's society's way,
6
And the truth is
7
That it's all a facade!
8
There's a face that we hide
9
Till the nighttime appears,
10
And what's hiding inside,
11
Behind all of our fears,
12
Is our true self,
13
Locked inside the facade!
14
Every day
15
People, in their own sweet way,
16
Like to add a coat of paint,
17
And be what they ain't!
18
That's how our little -
19
Game is played,
20
Livin' like a masquerade
21
Actin' a bizarre charade -
22
While playing the saint!
23
But there's one thing I know,
24
And I know it for sure:
25
This disease that we've got
26
Has got no ready cure!
27
And I'm certain
28
Life is terribly hard -
29
When your life's a facade!
30
Look around you!
31
I have found
32
You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
33
What is lurkin' there beneath it!
34
See that face!
35
Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
36
What you see's not what you get -
37
'Cause man's a master of deceit !
38
So, what is the sinister secret?
39
The lie he will tell you is true? -
40
It's that each man you meet
41
In the street
42
Isn't one man but two!
43
Nearly everyone you see -
44
Like him an' her,
45
An' you, an' me -
46
Pretends to be
47
A pillar of society -
48
A model for propriety -
49
Sobriety
50
An' piety -
51
Who shudders at the thought
52
Of notoriety!
53
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -
54
Which none of 'em ever admits -
55
May 'ave saintly looks -
56
But they're sinners an' crooks!
57
Hypocrites!
58
Hypocrites!
59
There are preachers who kill!
60
There are killers who preach!
61
There are teachers who lie!
62
There are liars who teach!
63
Take yer pick, dear -
64
"Cause it's all a facade!
65
If we're not one, but two,
66
Are we evil or good?
67
Do we walk the fine line -
68
That we'd cross if we could?
69
Are we waiting -
70
To break through the facade?
71
One or two
72
Might look kinda well-to-do -
73
Hah! They're bad as me an' you,
74
Right down they're boots!
75
I'm inclined to think -
76
Half mankind
77
Thinks the other half is blind!
78
Wouldn't be surprise to find -
79
They're all in cahoots!
80
At the end of the day,
81
They don't mean what they say,
82
They don't say what they mean,
83
They don't ever come clean -
84
And the answer -
85
Is it's all a facade!
86
Is it's all a facade!
87
Man is not one, but two,
88
He is evil and good,
89
An' he walks the fine line
90
We'd all cross if we could!
91
It's a nightmare
92
We can never discard
93
So we stay on our guard
94
Though we love the facade
95
What's behind the facade?
96
Look behind the facade!
