A lie can travel
Halfway 'round the world
While the truth
Is putting on its shoes
That's not so funny
In this day and age
When it's traded
For power and abuse
So whatever happened to the truth
Whatever happened to the truth
Men in rage
Are on display
They're ugly
Corrupt and obtuse
And our chidlren
Learn to hate and lie
Will love survive
In a few
So whatever happened to the truth
Whatever happened to the truth
And our chidlren
Learn to hate and lie
Will love survive
In a few
So whatever happened to the truth
Whatever happened to the truth
How many lives
Will be cast aside
How many innocents
Will be screwed
How many heads
We once held high
And sung lullabies
And set them loose
So whatever happened to the truth
Whatever happened to the truth
So whatever happened to the truth
Whatever happened to the truth
