Don’t get excited
Don’t say a word
Nobody noticed
Nothing was heard
It was committed discreetly
It was handled so neatly
And it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know

Break all the records
Burn the cassettes
I’d be lying if I told you
That I had no regrets
There were so many mistakes
And what a difference it makes
But still it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know

I said it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know

Don’t look now but you have changed
Your best friends wouldn’t tell you

Now it’s apparent
Now it’s a fact
So marshal your forces
For another attack You were so young and naive
I know it’s hard to believe
But now it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know

No it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know

What has it cost you
What have you won
The sins of the fathers
Are the sins of the sons
It was always within you
It will always continue
But it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know
I said it shouldn’t surprise you at all
You know
