Masquerade
Soul Asylum Song Lyrics

[Screaming gibberish]

I'm so glad we could get together

I thank you for supplying the fun

Well, we took this time out to enjoy ourselves

Now let's just fucking get it done

Well, we're talk-talk-talking and talk-talk-talk-talking

And maybe we'll have a little fight

Hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, now don't you admit that the reason you are here

Is just to get fucked tonight?

Come on

This masquerade is over

(Personal invitations only)

I.. i.. I got my makeup on

I got my hair all done

I bet you can't even guess who I am

Well, i? I thought you were my friend

But then the troubles began

And that old identity set in

I see no end to this bullshit so let's talk politics

Where it's parties, parties, parties all the time

We got big long cars, we got movie stars

We got the three b's, and don't you forgetting, the bigots, the bombs, and barriers

This masquerade is over

(Hey, hey)

I didn't invite no black, white-hippie, hardcore, the rich, hasidic jews, reds, white-bastard mothers, ya know, ya know

You're think you're something special, you know, I certainly didn't invite you

You know these costume parties they're such a good time

But ya, know I think I'm gonna have to be headin' home, ha, ha

Ha, you know it's funny how these social events, they just make me want to be alone

This masquerade is over

This masquerade is over

This masquerade is over

It's all over

It's all over

It's all over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's over

It's all over

It's all over

It's all over

It's all over

Ha, ha, ha
