Button your lip and d on't let the shield slip.
Take a fresh grip on your b ullet proof ma sk.
And if they try to break down your disguise with their q uestions
You can h ide, hi de, hid e,
Behind paranoid e yes.
You put o n our brave face and slip ov er the road for a jar ,
Fixing your grin as you c asually lean on the ba r.
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the b oys in the cro wd.
You h ide, hi de, hid e,
Behind petrified e yes.
You bel ieved in their stories of fa me, fortune and glo ry.
Now you're lost in a haze of al chohol soft middle ag e.
The p ie in the sky turned out to be miles too hi gh.
And you h ide, hi de, hid e,
Behind brown and mild eyes.
