You who thought your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you who had seen man dyin'
And you heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silence

And you, who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then you'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life

And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way

And you, who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
