Van Morrison
The Great Deception

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 to 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


Mirror lyrics:

Living in this world of lies
Just can't stand it no how
With the tear drops in their eyes
Did you ever see the people

Say son, kid, do you want your eyeballs back
They take the eyeballs straight out of your head
Down on the far side of the tracks
Have you ever heard about the so-called hippies

With his lip hanging off an old rusty bottle of gin
Last time they saw him down on the Bow'ry
Whatever happened to him?
Somebody started saying it was an inside job

Just decided to keep it hid.
And the newspapers didn't cover the story
Who knew more than they did
Have you ever heard about the great Hollywood motion picture actor

You don't need it
'Cause when you stop to think about it
And you know it's no use to think about it
But you know it's no use repeating

And they thought it was rather quaint
And he didn't have enough money for his brushes
Have you ever heard about how he could paint
Have you ever heard about the great Rembrandt

Wants you to pat him on the back
Saying power to the people, dance to the music

And don't they look so self righteous
Don't it make you not want to bother at all
Don't it hurt so bad in love city

And it don't take a gun
Where they rip you off with a smile
Have you ever been down to love city
Well the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run
Did you ever hear about the great deception

Popular Songs:
not afraid

disillusion

forget that day

summer rain

un canto

someone still believes in you

this is one of those moments

the sky is crying

my name

by the grace of god

here we are

shambala

save me

the coven

si rien ne bouge

shooting star

hot hot hot

never turn back

all the time

time after time
