Dave Solo - Truth Lyrics

Life is a mystery, I'm running out of time to solve it
The stream of history keeps racing through
Dissolving all the clues
And every trace of the truth

It's like a smorgasbord of
Mythologic mumbo-jumbo
Mendacious gumbo on a plate
From which they make us choose and chew
And it don't taste like the truth

And there's that question which
Consumes me, like a constant itch
Do they believe the lies they spread?
Or is this their intent
The structure of the truth gets bent
To bring it crashing to an end?
I'm asking for a friend...

You say the merit of your case is evident and real
I wonder why you want to
Lie and cheat and steal to get it through
Without the grace of the truth?

If there's a lesson here I'm sure I failed to apprehend it
If it's a message, I don't even know who I would send it to
You've left no space for the truth

And there's that question which
Consumes me, like a constant itch
Do they believe the things they say?
Or is it that they're trying
To recruit us through their lying
To put their virtue on display
Without the truth in the way?

Life is a mystery, I'm running out of time to solve it
The stream of history is racing through
Dissolving all the clues
And every trace of the truth
