The Truth Lyrics

If we only knew the truth about it,
Maybe we could work our way around it.

If we only knew the truth about it,
Maybe we could work our way around it.

Then maybe we could ignore that the shore,
Used to be the edge, explore.
More than a block of the next city over,
With nothing on our shoulders.

But the clothes on our backs,
And you leave us here with nothing.
Expecting no attack,
With soldiers on the way.

If we only knew the truth about what really goes on,
Maybe all the things I do would make sense, just for once.
Maybe we could work our way around it,
If we only knew the truth about it.

You think it's crazy to think there's nothing to hide,
Whenever there's a proposition for me to decide on.
There's a million suggestions, with a million intentions.
When the people getting richer, off the people getting poorer.
Is due for peaking over, there's justice on the way.

If we only knew the truth about what really goes on,
Maybe all the things I do would make sense, just for once.
Maybe we could work our way around it,
If we only knew the truth about it.

(Nowhere...)

If we only knew the truth about what really goes on, and what you say.
Behind closed doors. (On private lies)
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on, and what you say.
Behind closed doors. (On private lies)

If we only knew the truth about it, if we only knew the truth about it!

More than just a lie or two about what really goes on, and what you said.

More than just the right thing to do, the time has just passed us up instead.

Maybe we could work our way around it, if we only knew the truth about it.
