The World’s a Masquerade Songtext
von Earth, Wind & Fire

Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin′ what what you really are on the inside
Pretending that you're something you′re really not, yeah yeah

Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Just like a masquerade
Just like a masquerade

Yeah, can't you see, can't you see what you really are, ooh yeah
Pretending that you want the world to be a better place
Yet you′re fightin′, makin' war on your fellow man
So why wear this face that makes it seem everything′s so great, yeah yeah


Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face, another face

Won't you tell me
What can the whole world be hiding
Whole world is a masquerade
What can the whole world be hiding

Whole world
What can the whole world be hiding
Whole world is a masquerade
What can the whole world be hiding

Whole world
What can the whole world be hiding
Whole world is a masquerade
What can the whole world be hiding
