Chinese Whispers

Let’s pull down the shade
and share in secret code
I have information
and someone needs to know
No matter who it hurts
in the name of honesty
A willful slip of the tongue
A broken vow of secrecy

It’s coming round
One more time again
It’s coming round
One more time and then
We’ll turn the truth against you.

This cruel social circle
shall send one out to learn
With our cups to the wall
while we feign concern
They divulge the details,
confess to every crime
And like a flippant lover
we’ll screw them in due time

It’s coming round
One more time and then
It will come around
Again and again and again
We’ll never let you live it down
