lyrics
when we were seventeen
we believed
that the truth would set us free
but the nice man on the screen
tells me
you can’t trust the things you see
the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth
the fact is that’s the way it’s gotta be
the truth is bought and sold I’m told but not for cheap
it’s harder to afford for you and me
when I turned 23
I believed
that the path was clear for me
but the world would soon remind
we’re blind
in confusion and deceit
and as far as I can tell
true hell
is to take them at their word
'cause no matter where you turn
you’ll learn
you can’t trust the things you heard
the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth
sadly that’s the way it’s gotta be
worth its weight in gold, I’m told, to those agreed
so paint your grimy gravel to a sheen
we believed
that the truth would set us free
but the nice man on the screen
tells me
you can’t trust the things you see
the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth
the fact is that’s the way it’s gotta be
the truth is bought and sold I’m told but not for cheap
it’s harder to afford for you and me
when I turned 23
I believed
that the path was clear for me
but the world would soon remind
we’re blind
in confusion and deceit
and as far as I can tell
true hell
is to take them at their word
'cause no matter where you turn
you’ll learn
you can’t trust the things you heard
the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth
sadly that’s the way it’s gotta be
worth its weight in gold, I’m told, to those agreed
so paint your grimy gravel to a sheen
