The End Justifies the Means

Let me whisper in your ear a possibility
of things that might have happened
and things I might have seen
You can spread the rumor
I'll look squeaky clean
This is what it looks like
when the end justifies the means

It'll ruin your reputation
when I start the machine
They'll talk non-stop about you
on the TV screen
You'll be underwater
just like a submarine
But I'll just laugh about it
'cause the end justifies the means

Well my side has to win now
There is no in-between
Gotta come down hard now
and the press will help demean
Just one little whisper
It's really quite routine
And the sheep won't know the difference
When the end justifies the means

And when it's too late for you
to re-write the crooked scene
And the damage has been all done
my side will convene
Maybe we'll even own up
when it's too late to intervene
But we'll never say we're sorry
'cause the end justifies the means
