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
