about
What we don't talk about flattens us!
lyrics
In our party room Guy’s drinking Housca
Julie’s addicted to clothes
Everyone else goes to AA each week, but no one is gonna disclose
The elephant in the room
Our host won’t explain the obvious, Assumes everybody knows
Though we hide our reasons for gloom, an elephant’s in the room.
Everyone’s covering suffering
By wearing a mask; it’s a pose
Too huge to ignore ;
conspicuous as an elephant’s tomb
We hate work that doesn’t have meaning,
yet we only work to get paid.
We talk ‘bout our expensive assets
While our mortgages eat us away.
Guitar instrumental
The Grand Prix’s on TV, you can talk about sport if you please
But not about Faith, hope and charity,
‘Cause that could reveal the reality
Of the elephant in the room.
our host won’t explain the obvious, assumes everybody knows
all the many sad reasons we’re all out of tune
It’s the elephant, I assume?
Everyone’s covering suffering by wearing their /mask, and it shows:
There’s an elephant –yes- an elephant in the room.
Julie’s addicted to clothes
Everyone else goes to AA each week, but no one is gonna disclose
The elephant in the room
Our host won’t explain the obvious, Assumes everybody knows
Though we hide our reasons for gloom, an elephant’s in the room.
Everyone’s covering suffering
By wearing a mask; it’s a pose
Too huge to ignore ;
conspicuous as an elephant’s tomb
We hate work that doesn’t have meaning,
yet we only work to get paid.
We talk ‘bout our expensive assets
While our mortgages eat us away.

all the many sad reasons we’re all out of tune
It’s the elephant, I assume?
Everyone’s covering suffering by wearing their /mask, and it shows:
There’s an elephant –yes- an elephant in the room.
