The truth is out there

 

Everyone lies
Building a flawless façade
Hiding behind a smokescreen
Engrossed in a charade

Politicians will never stop politicking
Women will never trust anyone completely
Golfers will cheat when no one is looking
Lovers murmur false endearments between kisses
And a drunkard will never admit he is drunk

Don’t let them say otherwise
No one wants to tell the complete truth
Because truth hurts

Racists will justify their bigotry
The corrupt will hide their bank balance
The poor will hide their hunger
The narcissist will mask his vanity
And the nerd will always have secrets

Don’t let them lull your senses
No one wants to hear the complete truth
The truth is still out there

Truth may set you free
But the truth still hurts
