Lyrics of Facade by Christiane Noll,Emily Skinner,Frank Wildhorn,Linda Eder
verse
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
verse
There's a face that we hide 'til the nighttime appears
And what's hiding inside, behind all of our fears
Is our true self
Locked inside the façade
verse
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' out a masquerade
Actin' a bizarre charade
While playin' the saint
verse
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
verse
Look around you, I have found you
Cannot tell by looking at the surface what is lurking 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
verse
So, what is the sinister secret?
The lie he will tell you is true?
It's that each man you meet on the street isn't one man but two
verse
Nearly everyone you see, like him and her and you and me
Pretends to be a pillar of society
A model of propriety, sobriety, and piety
Who shudders at the thought of notoriety
verse
Ladies and gents here before you
Which none of 'em ever admits
May have saintly looks, but they're sinners and crooks
Hypocrites, hypocrites
verse
There are preachers who kill, there are killers who preach
There are teachers who lie, there are liars who teach
Take your pick, dear, 'cause it's all a façade
verse
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?
verse
One or two
Might look kinda well-to-do
Hah! They're as bad as me and you
Right down to their, right down to their 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
verse
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 their answer is it's all a façade, is it's all a façade
verse
Man is not one, but two, he is evil and good
And 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
