Lyrics
Placebo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ll tell your friends
I’ll go and tell them
How good you are then
Ooh, don't they know?
Ooh, they don’t know
Well if they don’t know it's the time
Go and do the right thing
Climb up the stairs go into the booth
And say: Father, I have sinned
Life is a game you find easy to play
When no one’s watching
Receiver and message are not connecting
God ain't there
Ooh, I gotta tell you the truth (no one’s watching us)
Ooh, I’ll send the truth to you (no one’s watching)
Well if they don’t know it's the time
Go and do the right thing
Climb up the stairs go in the booth
And say: Father, I have sinned
Hello? Is anyone there? God?
Are you listening to me?
Well if they don’t know it's the time
Go and do the wrong things
Climb up the stairs go into the booth
And scream: Priest, you have sinned
The angels cried
