Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, man, it's messed up times, half the world's done lost its mind
The rest are lookin' for a sign just to hold on to
You can't believe what's on the news
They lie to your face is what they do
They think we're all just a bunch of fools
[Verse 2]
And that's the damn truth, the way I see it
That's the damn truth, take it or leave it
It don't change, you better believe it
We live in a world of lies, that's the damn truth
[Verse 3]
Booze and drugs will rot your brain, too much pleasure brings you pain
But you can die from just about anything
The past is better off left behind, worry is always a waste of time
Money ain't always the bottom line
[Verse 4]
And that's the damn truth, the way I see it
That's the damn truth, take it or leave it
It don't change, you better believe it
We live in a world of lies, that's the damn truth
[Verse 5]
We oughta help the ones in need, help a man get back on his feet
You oughta work if you wanna eat if you can
Can't never did, won't never will, the road to ruin is all downhill
You can't get back the time you kill
[Verse 6]
And that's the damn truth, the way I see it
That's the damn truth, take it or leave it
It don't change, you better believe it
We live in a world of lies, that's the damn truth
[Verse 7]
So many times it's been denied
But I see it in my children's eyes
[Verse 8]
And that's the damn truth, the way I see it
That's the damn truth, take it or leave it
It don't change, you better believe it
We live in a world of lies, that's the damn truth
