Tables were turning and Papers are burning The undisputed were doomed When music was victimized Innocence scandalized Star people left for the moon And no one was the wiser No one ever knew No one knew but me (and the chosen) No one knew but me (and the chosen) No one knew but me and the chosen few When she and the old man were splitting again And the planet was right for a change When Africa called and the sought out America Never to hear her again I'm always so amazed that No one ever knew Ah no one knew but me (and the chosen) No one knew but me (and the chosen) No one knew but me and the chosen few So we live and we change and we come back again And our brothers scream where have you been As the lay waste to planet and torture the dreamer And the picture's looking quite dim Won't someone change the channel Can't stand the evening news No one knew but me No one knew but me No one knew but me and the chosen No one knew but me and the chosen No one knew but me and the chosen few (And we'll all go together)
