Thrice Doublespeak song lyrics

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
