Jekyll and Hyde movie - Facade lyrics
rate me<br>
ENSEMBLE:<br>
There's a face that we wear<br>
In the cold light of day -<br>
It's society's mask,<br>
It's society's way,<br>
And the truth is<br>
That it's all a façade!<br>
<br>
There's a face that we hide<br>
Till the nighttime appears,<br>
And what's hiding inside,<br>
Behind all of our fears,<br>
Is our true self,<br>
Locked inside the façade!<br>
<br>
Every day<br>
People, in their own sweet way,<br>
Like to add a coat of paint,<br>
And be what they ain't!<br>
<br>
That's how our little -<br>
Game is played,<br>
Livin' like a masquerade<br>
Actin' a bizarre charade -<br>
While playing the saint!<br>
<br>
But there's one thing I know,<br>
And I know it for sure:<br>
This disease that we've got<br>
Has got no ready cure!<br>
And I'm certain<br>
Life is terribly hard -<br>
When your life's a façade!<br>
<br>
Look around you!<br>
I have found<br>
You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface, <br>
What is lurkin' there beneath it!<br>
See that face!<br>
Now, I'm prepared to bet you,<br>
What you see's not what you get -<br>
'Cause man's a master of deceit !<br>
<br>
So, what is the sinister secret?<br>
The lie he will tell you is true? -<br>
It's that each man you meet<br>
In the street<br>
Isn't one man but two!<br>
<br>
Nearly everyone you see -<br>
Like him an' her,<br>
An' you, an' me -<br>
Pretends to be<br>
A pillar of society -<br>
A model for propriety -<br>
Sobriety <br>
An' piety -<br>
Who shudders at the thought<br>
Of notoriety!<br>
<br>
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -<br>
Which none of 'em ever admits -<br>
May 'ave saintly looks -<br>
But they're sinners an' crooks!<br>
<br>
Hypocrites!<br>
Hypocrites!<br>
<br>
There are preachers who kill!<br>
There are killers who preach!<br>
There are teachers who lie!<br>
There are liars who teach!<br>
Take yer pick, dear -<br>
"Cause it's all a façade!<br>
<br>
If we're not one, but two,<br>
Are we evil or good?<br>
Do we walk the fine line -<br>
That we'd cross if we could?<br>
Are we waiting -<br>
To break through the façade?<br>
<br>
One or two<br>
Might look kinda well-to-do -<br>
Hah! They're bad as me an' you,<br>
Right down they're boots!<br>
<br>
I'm inclined to think -<br>
Half mankind<br>
Thinks the other half is blind!<br>
Wouldn't be surprise to find -<br>
They're all in cahoots!<br>
<br>
At the end of the day,<br>
They don't mean what they say,<br>
They don't say what they mean,<br>
They don't ever come clean -<br>
And the answer -<br>
Is it's all a façade!<br>
Is it's all a façade!<br>
Man is not one, but two,<br>
He is evil and good,<br>
An' he walks the fine line<br>
We'd all cross if we could!<br>
<br>
It's a nightmare -<br>
We can never discard -<br>
So we stay on our guard -<br>
Though we love the façade -<br>
What's behind the façade?<br>
Look behind the façade!<br>
<br>
