Verse: Fig 1
we opened pandora's box just to see if she was home
she had an apple pie a jaundiced eye anda big red telephone
she said "boy's i know why you are here, you wanna take me for a ride
but before we go I think you ought to know that i'm awful hard to hide
i'm awful hard to hide
so how will you do in this town boy's
how will you call him dead?
will he die in hisrack from a heart attack
or from a bullet through his head?
"then she whispered as we took her out
"he need not be afraid 'cause deep insidethe system hide's the truth
that you've betrayed the truth that you've betrayed.
Chorus: Fig 2
"no where for us to run
thirty silver pieces got the job done
got the job done
Verse: Fig 1
poor pandora's life it was not as it had been portrayed
a government, an accident and now the bed is made
and we tried to put her back but we were defeated by our greed
tried again while shadowmen did their
dirty little deed their dirty little deed
Chorus: Fig 2
Verse: Fig 1
we opened pandora's box just to see what we could find
and in there was anote pandora wrote just before she lost her mind
it said "my passing will allow a peak behind the veil of secrecy
it's farther out than you can see just no telling
where that trail will lead no telling where that trail will lead."

Verse: Fig 1
We opened Pandora's box
Just to see if she was home
She had an apple pie
A jaundiced eye
And a big red telephone
She said "Boys, I know why you are here,
You want to take me for a ride;
But before we go
I think you ought to know
That I'm awful hard to hide
I'm awful hard to hide
So how will you do him this time, boys
How will you call him dead?
Will he die in his rack
From a heart attack
Or from a bullet through his head?
Then she whispered as we took her out
"He need not be afraid
'Cause deep inside
the system hides
The truth that you've betrayed,
The truth that you've betrayed.
Chorus: Bm A G A
Nowhere for us to run
Thirty silver pieces got the job done,
Got the job done
Verse: Fig 1
Well poor Pandora's life-it was not as it had been portrayed
A government,
An accident
And now the bed is made
And we tried to put her back, you know,
But we were defeated by our greed
And we tried again
While Shadow Men
Did their dirty little deeds,
Their dirty little deeds
Chorus: Bm A G A
Verse: Fig 1
We opened Pandora's box
Just to see what we could find
And in there was a note-
Pandora wrote-
Just before she lost her mind
It said "My passing will allow a peak
Behind the veil of secrecy
It's farther out than you can see
Just no telling where that trail will lead
No telling where that trail will lead..."
