What if half the things ever said Turned out 2 be a lie How will U know the Truth? If U were given all the answers And U stopped 2 wonder why But how will U know the Truth?

Was to give us all somethin' 2 fear? And if so y'all, the end of the journey's so clear Questionaire, What did U stand 4? Questionaire, Who did U save? When it gets right down to, wait a minute When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty When it gets right down to it U take more than U gave Everybody got a right to love Everybody got a right to lie But the choice U make ain't no piece of cake It ain't no motherfuckin motherfuckin piece of pie Mmmm oh Gotta tell the truth y'all Gotta tell the truth Gotta tell the truth y'all Gotta tell the truth Gotta tell the truth y'all Gotta tell the truth If there was just one day That everybody tell the truth We'd all trade bank accounts & move to back to Neptune
