Let's Not Talk About It

Let's not talk about your analyst today I don't want to hear about it anyway Though you may have your head down in the sand There's a lot of places ain't the Promised Land They're not playing school games in Ukraine Every incursion causes further pain In Syria or Lebanon or Pakistan Or in the snowy mountain passes of Afghanistan But let's not talk about it Let's not think about it Let's not talk about it at all Everybody's got their problems, so do I Paranoia doesn't always seem to get us by People working late without permission Trying to save the country or a politician There's going to be thrills and excitement Never mind that silly indictment Rest assured that none will remember What happened when it comes to November But let's not talk about it Let's not think about it Let's not talk about it at all So let's try a modicum of honesty And forget about the patriotic modesty Rap'em in the knuckles every once in a while Don't be fooled by the wink and the fake smile But let's not talk about it Let's not think about it Let's not talk about it at all
