When will you ever recognise?    You see, you push it in the corners    Keep it in the background    Work it out      Rather stick it in the background   Dead weight to carry around   Nothing to believe in   Keep it in the background   Raise a doubt       They try to pull the wool over our eyes And tell us everything's alright    Why don't you keep it in the background?    You've got nothing to worry about tonight       Why don't you keep it in the corners?    Why don't you see it's beaming in the sunshine?   I guess you might as well try    Guess you might as well try      Oh no, I say, you got it wrong    Oh no, I say, you got it wrong    Oh no, I say, you got it wrong   I say       There's no more keep it in the background   Dead weight to carry around    Nothing to believe in   I tell you something   You got the wrong idea    Oh, you got the wrong idea
