You can love it or fear it, run from it or get near it, if you want to
It can be your best friend, but, if betrayed, it'll haunt you
It doesn't move or change for anyone, or anything
It' s been around for a while now; heard and seen everything
It's been twisted, bent, stretched and flat out despised
Used as a pretext, taken out of context, to cover up lies
Some search for it, cuz they believe it will set them free
Some deny it and choose to disagree
So, here's to truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Naked, unvarnished, one hundred proof
A simple word, yet hard to define
They say truth is a good thing, so I've told some in my time
There's never been a lie it can't see through
So be careful cuz, it can make a liar out of you
Some claim it's subjective others claim it's absolute
I don't know what the truth is, but, I know it's always true
So, here's to truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Naked, unvarnished, one hundred proof
A simple word, yet hard to define
They say truth is a good thing, so I've told some in my time
Ya, they say truth is a good thing, so I've told some in my time
