| 作词 : Morrison | |
| Lyrics：Van Morrison Music：Van Morrison | |
| Did you ever hear about the great deception | |
| Well the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run | |
| Have you ever been down to love city | |
| Where they rip you off with a smile | |
| And it don't take a gun | |
| Don't it hurt so bad in love city | |
| Don't it make you not want to bother at all | |
| And don't they look so self righteous | |
| When they pin you up against the wall | |
| Did you ever, ever see the people | |
| With the tear drops in their eyes | |
| I just can't stand it, stand it no how | |
| Living in this world of lies | |
| Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singers | |
| Got three or four Cadillacs | |
| Saying power to the people, dance to the music | |
| Wants you to pat him on the back | |
| Have you ever heard about the great Rembrandt | |
| Have you ever heard about how he could paint | |
| And he didn't have enough money for his brushes | |
| And they thought it was rather quaint | |
| But you know it's no use repeating | |
| And you know it's no use to think about it | |
| 'Cause when you stop to think about it | |
| You don't need it | |
| Have you ever heard about the great Hollywood motion picture actor | |
| Who knew more than they did | |
| And the newspapers didn't cover the story | |
| Just decided to keep it hid. | |
| Somebody started saying it was an inside job | |
| Whatever happened to him? | |
| Last time they saw him down on the Bow'ry | |
| With his lip hanging off an old rusty bottle of gin | |
| Have you ever heard about the so-called hippies | |
| Down on the far side of the tracks | |
| They take the eyeballs straight out of your head | |
| Say son, kid, do you want your eyeballs back | |
| Did you ever see the people | |
| With the tear drops in their eyes | |
| Just can't stand it no how | |
| Living in this world of lies |
