Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe
Please tell us it ain't so
They told us our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days are gone
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has goten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so Joe, please say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show
