Say it ain't so lyrics
by Roger Daltrey



Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear, Joe, and I've got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies, Joe, please, tell us it ain't so

They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days are gone

The army and the empire may be falling apart
And the money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you, Joe, and they're ruining our show

(Oooh, babies) Don't you think we're gonna get burned?
(Oooh, babies) Don't you think we're gonna to get turned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned

We're going to get turned
We're going to get burned
We're going to get burned
Oooh, learn

Turn
Burned
Oooh, burned
Yeah!

Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe please tell us it ain't so
Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
I'm sure there telling us lies, Joe, and I've got a right to know

They told us that our are hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days are gone

The army and the empire may be falling apart
And the money had gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear, Joe, and I've got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe, please, say it ain't so
They keep on telling us lies, Joe, please tell us it ain't so

Say
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
'Cause I've got a right to know
