Surprises

Don't get excited, don't say a word
Nobody noticed, nothing was heard
It was committed discreetly
It was handled so neatly
And it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

Break all the records, burn the cassettes
I'd be lying if I told you that I had no regrets
There were so many mistakes
And what a difference it makes
But still it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

Don't look now but you have changed
Your best friends wouldn't tell you

Now it's apparent, now it's a fact
So marshal your forces for another attack
You were so young and naive
I know it's hard to believe
But now it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
No it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

What has it cost you, what have you won
The sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons
It was always within you. it will always continue
But it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
