[00:00:00] The Great Deception - Van Morrison

[00:00:01] Written by：Van Morrison

[00:00:03] Did you ever hear about

[00:00:05] The great deception

[00:00:10] Well the plastic revolutionaries

[00:00:12] Take the money and run

[00:00:16] Have you ever been down

[00:00:18] To love city

[00:00:23] Where they rip you off with a smile

[00:00:25] And it don't take a gun

[00:00:29] Don't it hurt so bad

[00:00:31] In love city

[00:00:35] Don't it make you not want

[00:00:37] To bother at all

[00:00:42] And don't they look

[00:00:44] So self righteous

[00:00:47] When they pin you

[00:00:50] Up against the wall

[00:00:55] Did you ever

[00:00:57] Ever see the people

[00:01:01] With the tear drops in their eyes

[00:01:07] I just can't stand it

[00:01:10] Stand it no how

[00:01:13] Living in this

[00:01:17] World of lies

[00:01:21] Did you ever hear about

[00:01:23] The rock and roll singers

[00:01:28] Got three or four

[00:01:30] Cadillacs

[00:01:33] Saying

[00:01:34] Power to the people

[00:01:36] Dance to the music

[00:01:40] Wants you to pat him

[00:01:43] On the back

[00:01:45] Have you ever heard about

[00:01:47] The great

[00:01:48] Rembrandt

[00:01:52] Have you ever heard about

[00:01:54] How he could paint

[00:01:58] And he didn't have enough

[00:02:00] Money for his brushes

[00:02:04] And they thought

[00:02:06] It was rather quaint

[00:02:11] But you know

[00:02:14] It's no use repeating

[00:02:18] And you know

[00:02:20] It's no use to think about it

[00:02:24] 'Cause when you stop

[00:02:26] To think about it

[00:02:31] You don't need it

[00:02:35] Have you ever heard about

[00:02:37] The great hollywood

[00:02:40] Motion picture actor

[00:02:43] Who knew more than they did

[00:02:48] And the newspapers didn't

[00:02:50] Cover the story

[00:02:55] Just decided

[00:02:56] And keep it hid

[00:03:00] Somebody started

[00:03:02] Saying it was an inside job

[00:03:08] Whatever happened to him

[00:03:13] Last time they saw him

[00:03:15] Down on the bow'ry

[00:03:19] With his lip hanging off an old

[00:03:22] Rusty bottle of gin

[00:03:25] Have you ever heard about

[00:03:26] The so called hippies

[00:03:31] Down on the far side of the tracks

[00:03:36] They take the eyeballs

[00:03:38] Straight out of your head

[00:03:41] Say son

[00:03:43] Kid do you want your eyeballs back

[00:03:50] Did you ever

[00:03:52] See the people

[00:03:57] With the tear drops

[00:03:58] In their eyes

[00:04:03] Just can't

[00:04:05] Stand it no how

[00:04:08] Living in this

[00:04:11] World of lies

[00:04:16] Did you ever hear about

[00:04:17] The great deception

[00:04:22] Well the plastic revolutionaries

[00:04:24] Take the money and run

[00:04:28] Have you ever been down

[00:04:30] To love city

[00:04:35] Where they rip you off with a smile

[00:04:37] And sell them a gun

[00:04:40] Did you ever hear about

[00:04:43] The great deception
