See the beautiful people smile so cold they freeze
Draped in furs, his and hers, can't see the woods for the trees
Sugar and spice and all things nice the fatal mistake
M'lady the people have no bread "What's wrong with cake?"
If you have to ask you'll never know
If you have to ask you'll never know
You'll never know
They said the sun would never set where the flag of freedom flies
Years and years of heavy rain centuries of lies
The Holy Land through to Vietnam Christian soldiers came
Plundering in the name of God "Why should we feel ashamed?"
If you have to ask you'll never know
If you have to ask you'll never know
You'll never
A razor blade around his neck, coke spoon for the wife
For them it is the real thing adds a touch of life
Without a care drive through Leicester Square across to Piccadilly Circus
Corpses stare from the penny arcade "Are they flying high like us?"
If you have to ask you'll never know
If you have to ask you'll never know
You'll never know
