Sweet Janine Songtext
von Jeffrey Gaines

Well, you′re waltzing on a cloud of nine
While there's people dying to be free
And you′re smiling from your private place
And your angel face so lovely

We don't want a rainy parade
I wouldn't want to bring you down
But what of your innocence brigade
Are you really that pure?
Or do you fight to ignore what′s around?

Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And are you for real?
Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And what do you feel?

Well, you′re bathing in the sweet sunshine
While there's people crying in the frost
And the only concern on your mind
Is to have a good time whatever the cost


I don′t want to throw you a curve
I wouldn't want your bubble to break
But what have you done to truly deserve
The keys to my town
What ain′t nailed down you'll take

Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And are you for real?
Sweet Janine, what have you seen? And

What do you think about the homeless millions?
What do you think about dying civilians?
What do you think about the freedom fighters?
What do you think about letter bomb writers?

Well, you′re skating on a figure of eight
While there's pain and there's hate at your feet
And your Daddy′s made clear
That there′s nothing to fear
At least here on your street

I don't want to darken your door
I wouldn′t want you shedding a tear dear
But you've got everything and still you want more
Well, you could learn a little sharing
And just a tad of caring I fear


Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And are you for real?
Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And what do you feel?

Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And are you for real?
Sweet Janine, what have you seen?
And what do you feel?
