lyrics
You don't say what you mean
You don't mean what you say
You have to watch your words are right
So you don't give yourself away
For what you are
For what you are
You choose to speak in riddles
You often speak in rhyme
And if you trip upon your rhetoric
You may end up doing time
For what you are
For what you are
Look what you are
How do you sleep at night
Look what you are
Can't tell what's wrong from right
Look what you are
How do you sleep at night
Look what you are
Where did you dream of long ago
When you set out upon this road
Was this really your enterprise
These lies, mistruths and compromise
Now corruption beckons you
To make an extra bob or two
Expenses scandals, dodgy cheques
You tied the noose around your neck
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You started off so strong
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You sought to make the poor your plight
But somehow you gave up the fight
When an easy answer passed you by
You found it easier to lie
And idealising idle eyes
Contributors to your demise
It's sad to think it's all because
You clung to power and not to love
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You started off so strong
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
One step forward, a step off track
Another step forward and two steps back
Oh what do you stand for now
What do you stand for now
You don't mean what you say
You have to watch your words are right
So you don't give yourself away
For what you are
For what you are
You choose to speak in riddles
You often speak in rhyme
And if you trip upon your rhetoric
You may end up doing time
For what you are
For what you are
Look what you are
How do you sleep at night
Look what you are
Can't tell what's wrong from right
Look what you are
How do you sleep at night
Look what you are
Where did you dream of long ago
When you set out upon this road
Was this really your enterprise
These lies, mistruths and compromise
Now corruption beckons you
To make an extra bob or two
Expenses scandals, dodgy cheques
You tied the noose around your neck
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You started off so strong
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You sought to make the poor your plight
But somehow you gave up the fight
When an easy answer passed you by
You found it easier to lie
And idealising idle eyes
Contributors to your demise
It's sad to think it's all because
You clung to power and not to love
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
You started off so strong
Look at you now
Where did it all go wrong
Look at you now
One step forward, a step off track
Another step forward and two steps back
Oh what do you stand for now
What do you stand for now
