Paragraph Lyric
Bad lovers face to face in the morning
Shy apologies and polite regrets
Slow dances that left no warning of
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
Even presidents have newspaper lovers
Ministers go crawling under covers
She's no angel
He's no saint
They're all covered up with white washed grease paint
And you say...
Chorus:
The teacher never told you anything but white lies
But you never see the lies
And you believe
Oh you know you have been captured
You feel so civilized
And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

The salty lips of the socialite sisters
With their continental fingers that have
never seen working blisters
Oh I know they've got their problems
I wish I was one of them
They say daddy's coming home soon
With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon

No more fast buck
And when are they gonna learn their lesson
When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
And you say...

Chorus
Bad lovers face to face in the morning    Shy apologies and polite regrets    Slow dances that left no warning of    Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning    Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere    Even presidents have newspaper lovers    Ministers go crawling under covers    She's no angel    He's no saint    They're all covered up with white washed grease paint    And you say...    Chorus:    The teacher never told you anything but white lies    But you never see the lies    And you believe    Oh you know you have been captured    You feel so civilized    And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves       The salty lips of the socialite sisters    With their continental fingers that have    never seen working blisters    Oh I know they've got their problems    I wish I was one of them    They say daddy's coming home soon    With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon       No more fast buck    And when are they gonna learn their lesson    When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions    And you say...       Chorus
