Welcome to the Great Deception
words & music: Michael Manley & Bobby Pennock
Small town alibi
He didn’t have to try to lose
Every well’s gone dry
Everywhere he’s tried no news
At home he wears the guise
And sings the lullabies
Confused, abandoned
By dreams not realized
Welcome to the great deception
Empty promises and fulfilled fears
Happiness replaced by tears
Welcome to the great deception
She remembers when
Her soul was spirited and free
She chose to camouflage,
Disguise her true reality
But when the house of cards
Came tumbling down
Left her confused, abandoned
By dreams not realized
Welcome to the great deception
Empty promises and fulfilled fears
Happiness replaced by tears
Welcome to the great deception
Small town alibis
They didn’t really want to lose
Ambitions hypnotize
They never recognized the clues
Then when they realized
What they had done
They felt confused, abandoned
By dreams not realized
Welcome to the great deception
Empty promises and fulfilled fears
Happiness replaced by tears
Welcome to the great deception
