about

A shout out about the dangers of social media and gullibility, equally applicable to the elections and the mess this country is in. The first release from our second album coming in Spring 2020.

lyrics

This is the song for the duped, so take it in, don’t question what you hear,
You can’t go wrong, so just sing along, to this pretty ditty for your pretty ears,
Here is some post-truth, clap-trap, junk, so stand up and take it like a man,
You may not agree, but between you and me, you’ve just signed up to the plan,

Cos there ain’t no room for honesty, there ain’t no place for truth,
Sincerity’s the myth you’ll never see, and you’re wasting your breath on me,
When you mention integrity, so sing along for the duped with me

This ain’t a song for the wise, if you’re wise this ain’t the song for you,
I spent all my time makings lines scan and rhyme, I sent clever to the back of the queue,
So here’s to the hollow and the cold, let’s raise a glass to the shallow and the proud,
Their flag is unfurled, they inherit this world, so sing a song, and sing it strong and loud,

Cos there ain’t no room for honesty, there ain’t no place for truth,
Sincerity’s the myth you’ll never see, and you’re wasting your breath on me,
When you mention integrity, so sing the song for the duped with me

You knew the dice were loaded, you knew the deck was stacked,
You knew the outcome of this merry game,
Your cards were on the table, you knew the deal was fixed,
But you threw your hand in just the same.

So that was the song for the duped, every word was true I’m sure you’ll all agree
It all went wrong, when you tried to sing along, so why not try again to sing with me,

Cos there ain’t no room for honesty, there ain’t no place for truth,
Sincerity’s the myth you’ll never see, and you’re wasting your breath on me,
When you mention integrity, so sing the song for the duped with me
So sing the song for the duped with me, so sing the song for the duped with me.
