Face The Face Lyrics - Townshend Pete

We've got to face the face 

You must have heard the cautionary tales 

The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails 

>From wiser men who have been through it all 

And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall 

We've got to judge the judge 

Got to find the finds 

We've got to scheme the schemes 

Have to line the lines 

We must stake the stakes 

And show the shown 

We must take the takes 

And know the known 

Try to place the place 

Where we can face the face 

Face the face-got to 

Face the face 

You must have tried and the defied belief 

Maybe found futility in insular grief 

I need your hunger just as you need mine 

A million appetites can swallow up time 

We've got to fool the fools 

And plan the plans 

We must rule the rules 

Got to stand the stands 

We must fight the fight 

And fall the falls 

We must light the light 

And call the calls 

We must race the race 

So we can face the face 

New York! Chicago! 

London and Glasgow! 

Keep looking! 

Keep on cooking 

Keep on looking 

Gotta stay on this case 

Study the pix 

Watch the fix 

We've got to find the face 

Try to place the place where we can face the face
