Yea, man it's messed up times
Half the world's done lost it's mind
The rest are looking for a sign
Just to hold on to
You can't believe what's on the news
Lie to your face is what they do
They think we're all just a bunch of fools

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

Booze and drugs will rot your brain
Too much pleasure brings you pain
But I guess you can die from just about anything
The past is better off left behind
Worry's always a waste of time
Money ain't always the bottom line

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

We oughta help the ones in need
Help a man get back on his feet
You oughta work if you wanta eat
If you can
Can't never did won't never will
The road to ruin is all down hill
You can't get back the time you kill

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

So many times it's been denied
But I've seen it in my children's eyes

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
