Lyrics

Truth
(Jim Quealy, Middle Room Music)

Will we ever see an end to a world of lies?
Everybody’s makin’ up an alibi
You can choose to reveal what’s on your mind
But something more attractive isn’t hard to find

Truth; hard to contend with
Truth; hard to pretend with
Truth; so difficult to verify
Truth; it is a contradiction
Truth; stranger than fiction
Truth; so much stranger than lies

Everybody’s out there to make a sale
In a world where it’s either pass or fail
You can choose to exhibit what you thought and done
Why face it all when it’s easy to run

Truth; hard to contend with
Truth; hard to pretend with
Truth; so difficult to verify
Truth; it is a contradiction
Truth; stranger than fiction
Truth; so much stranger than lies

You can be favorite man of the year
You can always tell ‘em what they want to hear
Never expose what might weaken your stance
Lengthen your nose; increase your chance

Truth; hard to contend with
Truth; hard to pretend with
Truth; so difficult to verify
Truth; it is a contradiction
Truth; stranger than fiction
Truth; so much stranger than lies
