The Great Deception - Van Morrison (范·莫里森)
Written by：Van Morrison
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
And 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
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 sell them a gun
Did you ever hear about
The great deception
