Say It Ain't So Joe Songtext
von Murray Head

Say it ain′t so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
That′s not what I wanna hear, Joe
And I got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
I′m sure they telling us lies, Joe
Please tell us it ain′t so

They told us our hero had played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We′re clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days have gone

The image and the empire may be failing apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce


Say it ain′t so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you, Joe
And they′re ruining our show

Ooh baby
Don't you think
We're gonna get burned?
Ooh baby
Don′t you think
We′re gonna get burned?

We're gonna to get turned
We′re gonna get burned
We're gonna to get turned
We′re gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned

Yes, we′re gonna get burned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we′re gonna get turned
We′re gonna get burned


Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain′t so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
And I got a right to know

Say it ain′t so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
I′m sure they're telling us lies, Joe
Please tell us it ain't so

Told us that the leader has played his trump card
He doesn′t know how to go on
You′re clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days have gone

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain′t so
I pinned my hopes on you, Joe
And they're ruining our show

The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man′s word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain′t so
That's not what I wanna hear, Joe
And I got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain′t so
I′m sure they're telling us lies, Joe
Please tell us it ain′t so

That's all I wanna hear, Joe
And I got a right to know
