Emne: Two-Faced World

I met a man who told me
His contacts were so fine
I could be a big star
If I'd sign his dotted line

I wanted to believe
So it took awhile to see
The only connection
That he really had was me

  And it's a two-faced world
From the bottom to the top
  I said it's a two-faced world
  Where's it gonna stop?

  (Not here I'll tell ya!)

I gave my friend some money
When his was runnin' low
And I thought he'd always be there
If I'd need a place to go

  I found out
That he was just my enemy
  That good friend had been sayin'
  Some bad things about me

  And it's a two-faced world
  Everywhere you look
  Said it's a two-faced world
  Got me on the hook

I had a good true lover
At least that's what she said
I was really shocked
When I found her in his bed

  I really loved that woman
  But it took alot of gall
  To look me in the eye
  And say 'I just slept here, that's all'

  And it's a two-faced world
  Caught me in a trap
  I said it's a two-faced world
  Sittin' in the devil's lap

Once I had a country
Called The Land of The Free
I Pledged my Allegiance
To Justice and Liberty

  Now I think there's Justice
  In the crack in the Liberty Bell
  Give 'em all their Freedom
  By bombin' them to hell

  And it's a two-faced world
From the bottom to the top
  I said it's a two-faced world
  Where's it gonna stop?
