All what you stand for
This secure fortress of faithful convictions
Inspire me to disbelief

So full of yourself, you stare at me and say:

"Hey you killjoy, go away

Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake

Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate

Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"

You know what's right or wrong

Jumping to conclusions, so likely to condemn
And take a single wise word for eternal truth
That's why you'll always say:


"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections

Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake
Hey you killjoy, go away

Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"


I just look for something you'll never grasp
A world neither black nor white, a wider definition

For nothing is downright pure or completely dark
Like myriads of variations for every shade of grey


Once I question your dual pattern
You can but whisper,
"Don't challenge me because I am the righteous one"

And try to conceal your confusion
You wish I'd walk away
So that your small, manicheist world would always stay the same


Your second-rate creed is such a dismay


"Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections
Stop playing devil's advocate

Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake
Hey you killjoy, go away
Spare me your objections

Stop playing devil's advocate
Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake"
