This is the song for the duped
So take it in
Don't question what you hear
You can't go wrong, so just sing along
To this pretty ditty for your pretty ears
Here is some post truth, clap trap junk
So stand up and take it like a man
You may not agree, but between you and me
You've just signed up to the plan
'Cos there ain't no room for honesty
There ain't no place for truth
Sincerity is the myth you'll never see
And you're wasting your breath on me
When you mention integrity
So sing the song for the duped with me
This ain't the song for the wise
If you're wise this ain't the song for you
I spent all my time making lines scan and rhyme
I sent clever to the back of the queue
So here's to the hollow and the cold
Let's raise a glass to the shallow and the proud
Their flag is unfurled, they inherit the world
So sing the song and sing it strong and loud
'Cos there ain't no room for honesty
There ain't no place for truth
Sincerity is the myth you'll never see
And you're wasting your breath on me
When you mention integrity
So sing the song for the duped with me
You knew the dice were loaded, you knew the deck was stacked
You knew the outcome of this merry game
The cards were on the table, you knew the deal was fixed
But you threw your hand in just the same
So that was the song for the duped
Every word was true, I am sure you'll all agree
But it all went wrong, when you tried to sing along
So why not try again to sing along with me
'Cos there ain't no room for honesty
There ain't no place for truth
Sincerity is the myth you'll never see
And you're wasting your breath on me
When you mention integrity
So sing the song for the duped with me
