Façade [Turkish translation]

There’s a face that we wear

In the cold light of the day

It’s society’s mask

It’s society’s way

And the truth is

That it’s a Façade

There’s a face that we hide

Till the night time appears

And what’s hiding inside

Behind all of your fears

Is your true self

Locked inside that façade

Every day

People in their own sweet way

Like to add a coat of paint

And be what they ain’t

- That’s how our little

- Game is played

Livin’ out a masquerade

Actin’ a bizarre charade

While playin’ the saint

But there’s one thing I know

And I know it for sure

This disease that we’ve got

Has got no ready cure

And I’m certain

Life is terrible hand

When your life’s a façade

Look around you I have found

You cannot tell by looking at the surface

What is lurkin’ there beneath

See that face now I’m prepared to bet you

What you see’s not what you get

‘Cause man’s a master of deceit

So what is this sinister secret?

The lie he will tell is true?

It’s that each man

You meet on the street

- Isn’t one man but two

- Nearly everyone you see

Like him an‘ her an’ you, an’ me

Pretends to be a pillar of society

- A model of propriety

- Sobriety an’ piety

Who shudders at the thought

Of notoriety

The ladies and gents

Were before you

Which none of ‘em

Ever admits

May have saintly looks

But they’re sinners an’ crooks

Hypocrites!

Hypocrites!

There are preachers who kill

There are killers who preach

There are teachers who lie

There are liars who teach

- Take your pick Dear

- ‘Cause it’s all a façade

If we’re not one but two

Are we evil or good?

- Do we walk a fine line

- That we’d cross if we could?

- Are we waiting

- To break through the façade?

One or two might look

Kinda well-to-do Hah!

They’re as bad as me an’you

Right down to their boots

I’m inclined to think

Half mankind thinks

The other half is blind

- Wouldn’t be surprised to find

- They’re all in cahoots

At the end of the day

They don’t mean what they say

They don’t say what they mean

They don’t ever come clean

And the answer

Is it all a façade

Is it all a façade

Man is not one but two

He is evil and good

An’ he walks the fine line

We’d all cross if we could

- It’s a nightmare

- We can never discard

So we stay on our guard

Though we love the façade

What’s behind the façade?

Look behind… the façade
