The Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It happens right before your eyes But, still, it takes you by surprise You see and watch it on TV I even saw it on a documentary Ignorance kills, it's a clash of wills No panacea's gonna cure your ills I'm feeling kind of indiscreet Patience is bitter, its fruit is so sweet [Chorus 1] So, keep a straight face, and look me in the eye And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy I haven't got the time to spare The way you are's not the way you were [Verse 2] Uninspired, I'm sick and tired You're hyperactive, totally wired Stay with me and we could have some fun After all, we're answerable to no-one Cyber porn from dusk till dawn Nowhere to hide from the suicide bomb Outside forces come inside to play You wouldn't even treat a dog that way [Chorus 2] So, keep a straight face, and look me in the eye And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy Besieging castles in the air The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 1] So, keep a straight face, and look me in the eye And say you wouldn't get this from any other guy I haven't got the time to spare The way you are's not the way you were [Chorus 2] So, keep a straight face, and look me in the eye And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy Besieging castles in the air The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were The way you are's not the way you were
