Faith Hope and Treachery

Disconnected, dysfunctional

soulmates with nobody else

sing a song for the New Ice Age

greed has made us lonely.

Faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery.

Children of the 80’s

values shaped by Reagan greed

don’t stick long with anything

going gets tough, change the channel and flee.

In

out

twist

shout.

Everyone’s scared of everyone else

‘specially who they love the most

no kind act goes unpunished

show you care just shows you’re weak.

So take ‘em all for what they’re worth

otherwise they’ll get you first

#1 must be preserved

friends aren’t for keeps, they’re for dessert.

In

out

twist

and shout.

Faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery

faith, hope and treachery.

Years go by, get sick of games

warmth gets repressed just like hate

Reagan children flunk out at love

it’s always someone else’s fault.

It’s always someone else’s fault

it’s always someone else’s fault

it’s always someone else’s fault

faith, hope and treachery.
