Faith, hope and treachery

Disconnected, dysfunctional
soulmates with nobody else
sing a song for the New Ice Age
greed has made us lonely.

Faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery.

Children of the 80’s
values shaped by Reagan greed
don’t stick long with anything
going gets tough, change the channel and flee.

In
out
twist
shout.

Everyone’s scared of everyone else
‘specially who they love the most
no kind act goes unpunished
show you care just shows you’re weak.

So take ‘em all for what they’re worth
otherwise they’ll get you first
#1 must be preserved
friends aren’t for keeps, they’re for dessert.

In
out
twist
and shout.

Faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery
faith, hope and treachery.

Years go by, get sick of games
warmth gets repressed just like hate
Reagan children flunk out at love
it’s always someone else’s fault.

It’s always someone else’s fault
it’s always someone else’s fault
it’s always someone else’s fault
faith, hope and treachery.
