    Facade

    ENSEMBLE: Sobriety
    There's a face that we wear An' piety -
    In the cold light of day. Who shudders at the thought
    It's society's mask, Of notoriety!
    It's society's way,
    And the truth is The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -
    That it's all a facade! Which none of 'em ever admits -
    May have saintly looks -
    There's a face that we hide But they're sinners an' crooks!
    Till the nighttime appears,
    And what's hiding inside, Hypocrites!
    Behind all of our fears, Hypocrites!
    Is our true self, There are preachers who kill!
    Locked inside the facade! There are killers who preach!
    Every day There are teachers who lie!
    People, in their own sweet way, There are liars who teach!
    Like to add a coat of paint, Take yer pick, dear -
    And be what they ain't! "Cause it's all a facade!

    That's how our little - If we're not one, but two,


    Game is played, Are we evil or good?
    Livin' out a masquerade Do we walk the fine line -
    Actin' a bizarre charade - That we'd cross if we could?
    While playing the saint! Are we waiting -
    To break through the facade?
    But there's one thing I know,
    And I know it for sure: One or two
    This disease that we've got Might look kinda well-to-do -
    Has got no ready cure! Hah! They're as bad as me an' you,
    And I'm certain Right down to their boots!
    Life is terribly hard - I'm inclined to think -
    When your life's a facade! Half mankind
    Look around you! Thinks the other half is blind!
    I have found Wouldn't be surprised to find -
    You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface, They're all in cahoots!
    What is lurkin' there beneath it! At the end of the day,
    See that face! They don't mean what they say,
    Now, I'm prepared to bet you, They don't say what they mean,
    What you see's not what you get - They don't ever come clean -
    'Cause man's a master of deceit ! And the answer -
    So, what is the sinister secret? Is it's all a facade!
    The lie he will tell you is true? - Is it's all a facade!
    It's that each man you meet Man is not one, but two,
    On the street He is evil and good,
    Isn't one man but two! An' he walks the fine line
    We'd all cross if we could!
    Nearly everyone you see -
    Like him an' her, It's a nightmare -
    An' you, an' me - We can never discard -
    Pretends to be So we stay on our guard -
    A pillar of society - Though we love the facade -
    A model for propriety - What's behind the facade?
    Look behind the facade!
