Some things we say are serious
But sometimes said for laughs
I must say that I hope you may
Never confuse the two.
Verse 2
See a pop star – scream and shout
Looks, personality, what’re they about?
Where are they coming from?
Listen to the meaning of the song.
Chorus
Don’t believe the hype
Eliminate hysteria
Make sure what you hear
Is clear in your mind
Step back and enjoy
The silent euphoria.
Verse 3
Don’t get fooled by salesmen’s spiel
Think what you want, want what you feel
Words mean one thing, but also another
Like ‘love’ doesn’t always involve lovers.
Chorus
Don’t believe the hype
Eliminate hysteria
Make sure what you hear
Is clear in your mind
Step back and enjoy
A silent euphoria.
Verse 4
We don’t seek fortune, we don’t seek fame
We search for meaning in pleasure and pain
Just one mouth, ears and eyes
To laugh and smile, hear and cry.
Verse 5
Hear me out, stop and listen
Open your mind, clear your vision
Realise life’s like a game
In order to score you need to aim
And what’s your aim in life?
Chorus
Don’t believe the hype
Eliminate hysteria
Make sure what you hear
Is clear in your mind
Step back and enjoy
The silent euphoria.
