Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they telling us lies Joe
Please tell us it ain't so

They told us our hero has played his Trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days have gone

The image and the empire maybe falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
We pinned our hope on you Joe
And they're ruining our show
