When the truth comes out, When we learn how they've been lying, How do you think you will feel About the lying you've been buying? How long's it going to take to heal When the truth comes out? When the truth comes out, And it always does, Are you going to feel the fool, Or slough it off: "That's how it was…" And forget about Kabul When the truth comes out? When the truth comes out About how many must have died While you couldn't face the fact That those you trusted lied and lied, Will you regret you didn't act When the truth comes out? Remember LBJ saying, we seek "no wider war"? Remember Gerald Ford asserting, Eastern Europe isn't under their control? Remember Clinton's claims about what sex is or isn't? Remember tricky Richard Nixon, when the truth came out? When the truth comes out, Will you be sorry how you voted? Will you be resentful? Although their lies were sugar-coated, They surely were eventful. Will you wish they hadn't lied? Will you regret so many died? When the truth comes out? Bob Carlson |
