PICTURE OF INNOCENCE (Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice/Morse)
I hear they're trying to make us all the same It's mind control by any other name Who's gonna pay the price For this foolish paradise Oh-Momma don't take that train
I hear it said we're headed too far south Chinese whispers go by word of mouth Rules for every size and shape The nag has gone, shut the gate Once you're in you're never getting out
I'm so misunderstood There goes my manlihood She's in my face again With that picture of innocence
No drinks, No smokes No dicking around No dirty jokes Straight lace, straight face The old straight jacket We got no hope
I hear they're gonna try out something new I can feel it sticking to my shoe So this is what tomorrow holds Hopes and dreams are bought and sold But still the world is misty green and blue
I', so misunderstood There goes my mannish boyhood She's in my face again With that picture of innocence
No deals, No strokes No forbidden fruit No holy smoke What next, no sex That's the end of the road That's the end of the road We got no hope
No drinks, No smokes No dicking around No dirty jokes Straight lace, straight face The old straight jacket We got no hope
No deals, No strokes No forbidden fruit No holy smoke What next, no sex That's the end of the road We got no hope
