Twenty Years
Placebo
Once More With Feeling: Singles 1996-2004 (2004)

There are twenty years to go
Twenty ways to know
Who'll wear
Who'll wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show

Then the breaks
For we design our fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
The faithful and the low
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go
The punch-drunk and the blow
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the foam

Then the breaks
Before we design our fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Then the breaks
Before we design our fates
But it's you I take cos you're the truth, not I

There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass and end too fast you know

There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope

That's the end - and that's the start of it
That's the whole - and that's the part of it
That's the high - and that's the heart of it
That's the long - and that's the short of it
That's the best - and that's the test in it
That's the doubt - the doubt, the trust in it
That's the sight - and that's the sound of it
That's the gift - and that's the trick in it

You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I

You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
