Lyrics

Don't get excited  
Don't say a word  
Nobody noticed  
Nothing was heard  
It was committed discreetly  
It was handled so neatly  
And it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
Break all the records  
Burn the cassettes  
I'd be lying if I told you  
That I had no regrets  
There were so many mistakes  
And what a difference it makes  
But still it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
Don't look now but you have changed  
Your best friends wouldn't tell you  
Now it's apparent  
Now it's a fact  
So marshal your forces  
For another attack  
You were so young and naive  
I know it's hard to believe  
But now it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
No it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
What has it cost you  
What have you won  
The sins of the fathers  
Are the sins of the sons  
It was always within you  
It will always continue  
But it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know  
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all  
You know
