Way Down
Unveiling Hypocrisy: Deep Truths in Pink Cream 69's 'Way Down'
Lyrics
There's an old man on a high chair
There is an elderly man seated in a position of authority.
In the name of Jesus Christ
He invokes the name of Jesus Christ.
Keep on preachin' that religion
He continues to preach his religious beliefs.
Though the past has often lied
Despite historical deception, he persists in his preaching.
Sold his faith but could not face anyone
He betrayed his faith but couldn't face the consequences.
Sold us hope but couldn't change what's been done
He offered hope but couldn't undo past actions.
Way down, way down deep in his eyes
Deep in his eyes, there is a hidden truth.
How long, how long can he conceal the lies?
Questioning how long he can continue concealing his lies.
Flew his jet to De Janeiro
He flew to De Janeiro, aiming to bring peace of mind.
To deliver peace of mind
Expressing a desire to deliver peace in the name of God.
Kneels to kiss the burnin' pavement
Kneeling to kiss the burning pavement, a symbolic act.
All his hypocrites behind
Leaving behind his hypocritical followers.
Tries to fake his way as God's only son
Attempting to pretend he is God's only son.
Full of shit! you just can't fool everyone
Criticism that he is insincere and cannot deceive everyone.
Way down, way down deep in his eyes
Once again emphasizing the hidden truth in his eyes.
How long, how long can he conceal the lies?
Reiterating the question of how long he can hide his lies.
Tries to fake his way as God's only son
Repetition of the attempt to pose as God's only son.
Full of shit! you just can't fool everyone
Reiterating the idea that he cannot deceive everyone.
Way down, way down deep in his eyes
Once again pointing to the concealed truth in his eyes.
How long, how long can he conceal the lies?
Asking once more how long he can keep his lies hidden.
Way down, way down
Emphasizing the depth of the hidden truth.
