Little Did We Know  Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung So many were the days when life seemed unbearable Breathing in the haze that poisoned the air Lost and alone it was so inhumane In a twilight zone with the world gone insane So little did we know, denying our ignorance So little did we care in a cloak of indifference See we were the ones who refused to believe And now we'll see they'll be thеy'll be no reprievе Oh so little did we know Like zombies with flesh on our minds Oh no no now where can we go So little do we know Seems the only way we learn is when it's the hard way At the point of no return we still look away Unable to face the truth or the facts We start our vicious attacks, come what may What's wrong with us? Oh, the price that we'll pay We don't listen only speak 'cause, man, we know everything Don't you mess with my beliefs when you don't know anything Unwilling to change or even to bend We lose our family a...

The Isle of Misanthrope Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Long ago in ancient times We learned of life from minstrels rhymes They told us tales of gods and kings And to be beware when sirens sing But when we heard the clarion call The people laughed and built a wall We joyfully rehearsed the tune Like howling wolves at devils moon We've all been taught our lines So righteous with our holy signs We were deaf to the lies We were blind and unkind and unwise And will we ever learn All empires built will someday burn When they've lost all concern And they fail just to listen and learn No more life No more air Like a ship of fools adrift on le mal de mer No more joy No more hope Still we search for signs of truth as we learn to cope Lord from the Isle of Misanthrope And will we ever learn All empires built will some day burn When they've lost all concern And they fail just to listen and learn No more light No more air Like a ship of fools adrift sur le mal ...

Turn Off CNN Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Push When you wake up in the morning Do you watch CNN? Oh, do you close your eyes and hold your breath Then say an Amen? 'cause there's too much information Runnin' round in your brain Do we really need to know the facts Of everyone's pain? Still you're searchin' for some reason At the scene of the crime With people killing people Everywhere all the time But then you go about your merry way 'cause baby you're still alive Wondering all the time in the back of your mind How will this world survive? And nobody knows nothin' Nobody ever did Well we can talk real loud and act real smart But who we tryin' to kid 'cause everybody is an expert When they're bloggin' the news Oh, genius after genius Without any clues Twenty four hours, seven days a week Disasters multiply Staring at the tube, you can barely speak It makes you wanna cry Turn off CNN T-t-turn it off Turn off CN...
