Doublespeak Songtext
von Thrice

I drug my heart with doublespeak
All my misgivings disappear
It helps to keep my conscience clean, the ends will justify the means
Still I′m always careful what I hear

I don't want to know
Who really pulls the strings
Just as long
As it′s not you or me

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you've seen a crime
You just look the other way

I slowly carve my soul away
Piece by piece, I sacrifice
To comfort and peace of mind, I keep my toes on the party line
There′s nothing wrong, dear, don′t think twice


I don't want to know
Who really pulls the strings
Just as long
As it′s not you or me

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you′ve seen a crime
You just look the other way

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you′ve seen a crime
Won't you look the other, look the other way?

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you′ve seen a crime
Won′t you look the other way?

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey, if you think you′ve seen a crime
Won't you look the other way?


I drug my heart with doublespeak
All my misgivings disappear
It helps to keep my conscience clean, the ends will justify the means
Still I′m always careful what I hear
