Let's Not Talk About It

Let's not talk about your analyst today
I don't want to hear about it anyway
Though you may have your head down in the sand
There's a lot of places ain't the Promised Land
They're not playing school games in Ukraine
Every incursion causes further pain
In Syria or Lebanon or Pakistan
Or in the snowy mountain passes of Afghanistan

But let's not talk about it
Let's not think about it
Let's not talk about it at all

Everybody's got their problems, so do I
Paranoia doesn't always seem to get us by
People working late without permission
Trying to save the country or a politician
There's going to be thrills and excitement
Never mind that silly indictment
Rest assured that none will remember
What happened when it comes to November

But let's not talk about it
Let's not think about it
Let's not talk about it at all

So let's try a modicum of honesty
And forget about the patriotic modesty
Rap'em in the knuckles every once in a while
Don't be fooled by the wink and the fake smile

But let's not talk about it
Let's not think about it
Let's not talk about it at all
