Underneath The Mask

"We all know the atomic bomb is dangerous
Since it may be used against us
We must get ready for it
Just as we are ready for many dangers that are around us all the time..."

We're living the American Dream
Little white fence in the front yard
Pearls and jewels aren't what they seem
Jackie O, honey I'm home
Oh-wow-ow I've been playing make believe

Cookie cutter, wifey I ate the truth that you fed me
Painted on a smile all awhile
And deep down I knew I was one of many
It hit me with reality

Set my world on fire, but I didn't burn down
Rose above the flames, yeah I did it somehow
Because I know this too shall pass
I'm living underneath the mask
Even in the dark when I lost my way
Seemed to find the glow leading back to me
And yeah I know this too shall pass
Of living underneath the mask

Days went on and on and on
Pressing your shirt in the morning
Cup of Joe then you're out the door, love is lame
Rest of my day, I'm hanging up
Hanging up, folding up your linen

Cookie cutter, wifey I ate the truth that you fed me
Painted on a smile all awhile
And deep down I knew I was one of many
It hit me with reality

Set my world on fire, but I didn't burn down
Rose above the flames, yeah I did it somehow
Because I know this too shall pass
I'm living underneath the mask
Even in the dark when I lost my way
Seemed to find the glow leading back to me
And yeah I know this too shall pass
Of living underneath the mask

Thank you, you showed me who you really are
A facade, a disguise didn't get you far
The grass is green so I'll be running to the other side
Thank you for revealing yourself to me
And God knows you and I just weren't meant to be
I'm thankful, I'm thankful that now I see
Yeah, yeah

Set my world on fire, but I didn't burn down
Rose above the flames, yeah I did it somehow
Because I know this too shall pass
I'm living underneath the mask
Even in the dark when I lost my way
Seemed to find the glow leading back to me
And yeah I know this too shall pass
Of living underneath the mask

Yeah
Underneath the mask
Yeah
Underneath the mask
Yeah
Underneath the mask
Yeah
Underneath the
