Doublespeak Lyrics - Beggars - 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?
