The truth ain't what it used to be
I took a look in the mirror
I left my brains in the hall
I got a little disappointment
But it, it makes no difference at all
Don't take my word for it stoopid
I don't go looking for facts
Yeah coz experts are like monkeys
Who like to strap themselves to our backs
That's a fact!
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
I say the truth ain't what it used be
You get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
The truth ain't what it used to be
I got a seat at the freak-show
I sat myself in the stalls
Was mesmerising watching those morons
Talk themselves up the walls
Duty calls
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
I say the truth ain't what it used be
They get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
The truth ain't what it used to be
Yeah when it don't mean nothing, double negative you're way to the top
Oh and you're biding your time waiting for that silky penny to drop
Coz it don't take a lot
I know you know, the simple truth
Ain't what it used to be
I used to know bout my onions,
My story slowly revealed
But now I'm not so sure if it's an onion or an apple I've peeled
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
No no
The truth ain't what it used be
We get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
The truth ain't what it used to be
Yeah when it don't mean nothing, double negative you're way to the top
Oh and your biding your time waiting patient for the spinning to stop
Yeah and you know that it don't take a lot
To find the truth
The truth
