  • ENSEMBLE:
  • There's a face that we wear
  • In the cold light of day -
  • It's society's mask,
  • It's society's way,
  • And the truth is
  • That it's all a façade!
  • There's a face that we hide
  • Till the nighttime appears,
  • And what's hiding inside,
  • Behind all of our fears,
  • Is our true self,
  • Locked inside the façade!
  • Every day
  • People, in their own sweet way,
  • Like to add a coat of paint,
  • And be what they ain't!
  • That's how our little -
  • Game is played,
  • Livin' like a masquerade
  • Actin' a bizarre charade -
  • While playing the saint!
  • But there's one thing I know,
  • And I know it for sure:
  • This disease that we've got
  • Has got no ready cure!
  • And I'm certain
  • Life is terribly hard -
  • When your life's a façade!
  • Look around you!
  • I have found
  • You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
  • What is lurkin' there beneath it!
  • See that face!
  • Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
  • What you see's not what you get -
  • 'Cause man's a master of deceit !
  • So, what is the sinister secret?
  • The lie he will tell you is true? -
  • It's that each man you meet
  • In the street
  • Isn't one man but two!
  • Nearly everyone you see -
  • Like him an' her,
  • An' you, an' me -
  • Pretends to be
  • A pillar of society -
  • A model for propriety -
  • Sobriety
  • An' piety -
  • Who shudders at the thought
  • Of notoriety!
  • The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -
  • Which none of 'em ever admits -
  • May 'ave saintly looks -
  • But they're sinners an' crooks!
  • Hypocrites!
  • Hypocrites!
  • There are preachers who kill!
  • There are killers who preach!
  • There are teachers who lie!
  • There are liars who teach!
  • Take yer pick, dear -
  • "Cause it's all a façade!
  • If we're not one, but two,
  • Are we evil or good?
  • Do we walk the fine line -
  • That we'd cross if we could?
  • Are we waiting -
  • To break through the façade?
  • One or two
  • Might look kinda well-to-do -
  • Hah! They're bad as me an' you,
  • Right down they're boots!
  • I'm inclined to think -
  • Half mankind
  • Thinks the other half is blind!
  • Wouldn't be surprise to find -
  • They're all in cahoots!
  • At the end of the day,
  • They don't mean what they say,
  • They don't say what they mean,
  • They don't ever come clean -
  • And the answer -
  • Is it's all a façade!
  • Is it's all a façade!
  • Man is not one, but two,
  • He is evil and good,
  • An' he walks the fine line
  • We'd all cross if we could!
  • It's a nightmare -
  • We can never discard -
  • So we stay on our guard -
  • Though we love the façade -
  • What's behind the façade?
  • Look behind the façade!
