The Truth Songtext
von Prince

What if half the things ever said
Turned out to be a lie
How will you know the truth?

If you were given all the answers
And you stopped to wonder why
But how will you know the truth?

Everybody′s got a right to love
Everybody's got a right to lie
But the choice you make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mother fucking piece of pie

What If time′s only reason?
Was to give us all somethin' to fear?
And if so you all, the end of the journey's so clear


Questionaire, what did you stand for?
Questionaire, who did you save?
When it gets right down to wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it you take more than you gave

Everybody got a right to love
Everybody got a right to lie
But the choice you make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mother fucking, mother fucking piece of pie

Gotta tell the truth y′all
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth y′all
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth y'all
Gotta tell the truth

If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
We′d all trade bank accounts & move to back to Neptune
