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 I block from the next
Sitting 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 a way around it
If we only knew the truth about it.

You think its crazy,
You 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
It's due for peeking 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 (echo "about it" 5 times)

If we only knew the truth about what really goes on,
What you said behind closed doors
(On private lines)
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you say behind closed doors
(On private lines)
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.
(Echo "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. (Echo "about it" 5 times)
