From the recording Naked
Lyrics
Naked - words and music David Ireland
Don’t tell me things you think i should hear
I've heard them all before
Don’t dress up your lies to cover the truth
What do you take me for?
You’re fooling yourself
And nobody else You’re fooling yourself
And it just doesn’t gel
Pulling the wool over everyone's eyes
Well, you can la la la all the way to hell
Don’t imagine I can’t see what’s going on
I’ve been a few times round the block
People talk to each other in the real world
You can’t fool the old third rock
I’ve had a lifetime Of right up to here
I've had enough I just won’t take it
Let’s get to the grit Forget all the lies
Cause underneath it all we’re naked
Chorus
Naked - Give me transparency
Naked - Show me some clarity
Naked - I don’t need your fantasies
Cause underneath it all we’re naked
Don’t tell me things you think i’ll believe
I gave up believing a long time ago
We saw through the emperor, we see through you
What do you take us for?
We’ve had a lifetime Of right up to here
We've had enough And we just won’t take it
Let’s cut out the bull Stop all the lying
Cause underneath it all we’re naked
Naked - Give me apparency
Naked - All you Adams and Eves
Naked - No more ‘make believes'
Cause underneath it all we’re naked
