The Great Deception - Van Morrison (范·莫里森)

Written by：Van Morrison

Did you ever hear about

The great deception

Well the plastic revolutionaries

Take the money and run

Have you ever been down

To love city

Where they rip you off with a smile

And it don't take a gun

Don't it hurt so bad

In love city

Don't it make you not want

To bother at all

And don't they look

So self righteous

When they pin you

Up against the wall

Did you ever

Ever see the people

With the tear drops in their eyes

I just can't stand it

Stand it no how

Living in this

World of lies

Did you ever hear about

The rock and roll singers

Got three or four

Cadillacs

Saying

Power to the people

Dance to the music

Wants you to pat him

On the back

Have you ever heard about

The great

Rembrandt

Have you ever heard about

How he could paint

And he didn't have enough

Money for his brushes

And they thought

It was rather quaint

But you know

It's no use repeating

And you know

It's no use to think about it

'Cause when you stop

To think about it

You don't need it

Have you ever heard about

The great hollywood

Motion picture actor

Who knew more than they did

And the newspapers didn't

Cover the story

Just decided

And keep it hid

Somebody started

Saying it was an inside job

Whatever happened to him

Last time they saw him

Down on the bow'ry

With his lip hanging off an old

Rusty bottle of gin

Have you ever heard about

The so called hippies

Down on the far side of the tracks

They take the eyeballs

Straight out of your head

Say son

Kid do you want your eyeballs back

Did you ever

See the people

With the tear drops

In their eyes

Just can't

Stand it no how

Living in this

World of lies

Did you ever hear about

The great deception

Well the plastic revolutionaries

Take the money and run

Have you ever been down

To love city

Where they rip you off with a smile

And sell them a gun

Did you ever hear about

The great deception
