The Great Deception - Van Morrison[00:00:00]
Written by:Van Morrison[00:00:01]
Did you ever hear about[00:00:03]
The great deception[00:00:05]
Well the plastic revolutionaries[00:00:10]
Take the money and run[00:00:12]
Have you ever been down[00:00:16]
To love city[00:00:18]
Where they rip you off with a smile[00:00:23]
And it don't take a gun[00:00:25]
Don't it hurt so bad[00:00:29]
In love city[00:00:31]
Don't it make you not want[00:00:35]
To bother at all[00:00:37]
And don't they look[00:00:42]
So self righteous[00:00:44]
When they pin you[00:00:47]
Up against the wall[00:00:50]
Did you ever[00:00:55]
Ever see the people[00:00:57]
With the tear drops in their eyes[00:01:01]
I just can't stand it[00:01:07]
Stand it no how[00:01:10]
Living in this[00:01:13]
World of lies[00:01:17]
Did you ever hear about[00:01:21]
The rock and roll singers[00:01:23]
Got three or four[00:01:28]
Cadillacs[00:01:30]
Saying[00:01:33]
Power to the people[00:01:34]
Dance to the music[00:01:36]
Wants you to pat him[00:01:40]
On the back[00:01:43]
Have you ever heard about[00:01:45]
The great[00:01:47]
Rembrandt[00:01:48]
Have you ever heard about[00:01:52]
How he could paint[00:01:54]
And he didn't have enough[00:01:58]
Money for his brushes[00:02:00]
And they thought[00:02:04]
It was rather quaint[00:02:06]
But you know[00:02:11]
It's no use repeating[00:02:14]
And you know[00:02:18]
It's no use to think about it[00:02:20]
'Cause when you stop[00:02:24]
To think about it[00:02:26]
You don't need it[00:02:31]
Have you ever heard about[00:02:35]
The great hollywood[00:02:37]
Motion picture actor[00:02:40]
Who knew more than they did[00:02:43]
And the newspapers didn't[00:02:48]
Cover the story[00:02:50]
Just decided[00:02:55]
And keep it hid[00:02:56]
Somebody started[00:03:00]
Saying it was an inside job[00:03:02]
Whatever happened to him[00:03:08]
Last time they saw him[00:03:13]
Down on the bow'ry[00:03:15]
With his lip hanging off an old[00:03:19]
Rusty bottle of gin[00:03:22]
Have you ever heard about[00:03:25]
The so called hippies[00:03:26]
Down on the far side of the tracks[00:03:31]
They take the eyeballs[00:03:36]
Straight out of your head[00:03:38]
Say son[00:03:41]
Kid do you want your eyeballs back[00:03:43]
Did you ever[00:03:50]
See the people[00:03:52]
With the tear drops[00:03:57]
In their eyes[00:03:58]
Just can't[00:04:03]
Stand it no how[00:04:05]
Living in this[00:04:08]
World of lies[00:04:11]
Did you ever hear about[00:04:16]
The great deception[00:04:17]
Well the plastic revolutionaries[00:04:22]
Take the money and run[00:04:24]
Have you ever been down[00:04:28]
To love city[00:04:30]
Where they rip you off with a smile[00:04:35]
And sell them a gun[00:04:37]
Did you ever hear about[00:04:40]
The great deception[00:04:43]
