When will you ever recognise? You see, you push it in the corners Keep it in the background Work it out Rather stick it in the background Dead weight to carry around Nothing to believe in Keep it in the background Raise a doubt They try to pull the wool over our eyes And tell us everything's alright Why don't you keep it in the background? You've got nothing to worry about tonight Why don't you keep it in the corners? Why don't you see it's beaming in the sunshine? I guess you might as well try Guess you might as well try Oh no, I say, you got it wrong Oh no, I say, you got it wrong Oh no, I say, you got it wrong I say There's no more keep it in the background Dead weight to carry around Nothing to believe in I tell you something You got the wrong idea Oh, you got the wrong idea
