As If We Didn't Know (Pat Robinson) There was satin covered window On a sea of gathered green Is a bottle floating off the starboard bow And the once committed actress Who's long forgotten now If we can't protect the farmer That protects the Motherland Then we're giving up the cure for all We just fill the empty pages With some mad neurotic bore As if we didn't know It's as if it didn't show, oh no Just like it wasn't there It's as if we're unaware As if we didn't go So your Mama leaves the courtroom With the verdict in her hands As the doctor takes his final curtain call It's just life and life on earth Someone has to take the fall Does no good to tell the hangman What you just told to the court In this game you're just another domino And you're undergoing treatment That he swears is at the core As if he didn't know mmm As if it didn't show mmm When you learn to look away You can say that it's OK As if you didn't know So they dig for bad treasure Like they drink and build Jerome With this writer from Dakota Going cold And we're caught between injustice And that deadly undertow No option was overlooked For friends this is it On the horizon is a crossing Where three men hang in the mist As every story has an ending Every ending has a twist And it's taken all these centuries To get away with this 'cause there has to be a sentence If our duty is to serve Just as destiny can take it's final toll you know Think of it as something That we're learning to outgrow As if we didn't know As if it didn't show It's like we don't believe In things that we can't see As if we didn't go, oh, oh As if it didn't know, oh no Let the hunger grow Let it overgrow Just let the children grow As if we didn't know Look out for number one As if it doesn't show We've only just begun As if it didn't show |
