Who were the ones that gave you all those fake promises
Who were the ones that took you by the hand
And showed you and me the world is so beautiful
And then they took the freedom we thought we had
You got to hold it brother
You got to fold another
After you tear the page and start again another life
Don't let them take it easy
Don’t let them make you sleazy
Don’t let the glitter and the glamour thrown in your eyes to blind you
Innocence one day will find you
So what if you like the colors of the rainbow
There is no end there is no pot of gold
For what they told you is a lie and a fairy tail
To make you sleep and steal away your soul
You got to hold it brother
You got to fold another
After you tear the page and start again another life
Don't let them take it easy
Don’t let them make you sleazy
Don’t let the glitter and the glamour thrown in your eyes to blind you
Innocence one day will find you
Before it's too late
Before the TV screen
Gets under your skin
I know it happened to me
There was this man who called you with all these crazy names
There was this man who thought he was a stone
And every time the wild wind was blowing from the south
He would stand there and roll into the north
And he said
You got to hold it brother
You got to fold another
After you tear the page and start again another life
Don't let them take it easy
Don’t let them make you sleazy
Don’t let the glitter and the glamour thrown in your eyes to blind you
Innocence one day will find you
