The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all

The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what`s left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you

Say it`s not true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away

Say it`s not true
Say it for real
Can`t be happening to you
Can`t be happening to me

It`s hard not to cry
It`s hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve

With the wonders of science
And all the knowledge we`ve stored
Magic c**ktails for lives
People just can`t afford

So say it`s not true
You can say it`s not right
It`s hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it`s not true
You can say it`s not real
Could be happening to you
Could be happening to me
