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 gotten 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

(Ooo Babies)
Don't you think we're gonna get burned
(Ooo Babies)
Don't you think we're gonna to get burned
We're gonna get turned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we're going to get turned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we're going to get burned
Yes, we're going to get turned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we're going to get turned
We're gonna get learned

Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna 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 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 have gone

Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe
Say it ain't so

Well the image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten 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

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
