What’s being said - the thing that she fears
It’s not in her head - It’s not what she hears
She just laughs instead, and covers her ears
And says la la la la la la la la la la

With his own eyes, he can see how it goes
But then he denies what everyone knows
Whenever he tries, the more that it shows
He says blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Cover your ears, cover your eyes - pretend that it just isn’t so
Cover your mouths and cover your backs - like monkeys all in a row

It works or it fails, but doesn’t last long,
In prisons and jails where the liars belong,
Telling tall tales. Singing that song:
You sing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Everyone knows the way that it goes
The truth that we chose is the way it must be.
Majority rules, the others are fools
On this point I think you’ll agree…

Cover your ears, cover your eyes - make up the truth as you go
Cover your mouths and cover your tracks - like monkeys all in a row

Cover your ears, cover your eyes - pretend that it just isn’t so
Cover your mouths and cover your backs - like monkeys all in a row
