Howard Jones New Song [New Version] Lyrics

I've been waiting for so long to come here now and sing this song.
Oh
don't be fooled by what you see
don't be fooled by what you hear.
This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts.
Challenging preconceived ideas saying goodbye to long standing fears.
Don't crack up
bend your brain
see both sides
Throw off your mental chains.
Don't crack up
bend your brain
see both sides
Throw off your mental chains.
...
I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules.
Not under the thumb of the cynical few or laiden down by the doom crew.
Don't crack up
bend your brain
see both sides
Throw off your mental chains

Don't crack up
bend your brain
see both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I've been waiting for so long to come here now and sing this song. . . .
don't be fooled by what you see
don't be fooled by what you hear.
This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts.
Challenging preconceived ideas saying goodbye to long standing fears.
Don't crack up
bend your brain
see both sides
Throw off your mental chains
