Vikki Lee - The Truth Lyrics

THE TRUTH
Words and music by Vikki Lee

The truth of the matter is its all lies
You can dress it up in polyamide
But I'm not buying
Love isn't love and that's what I hate
The truth of the matter is its too late
Well ain't it great to be alive
Well the truth of the matter is its all lies

At 6 AM you think that maybe there's hope
But by 6:15 you realize you're a dope
When the memories of yesterday cuts through the haze
And here comes another just one of those days
Well man its great to be alive
But the truth of the matter is its all lies

Someone keeps telling me we're what we think
But all I think is I could sure use a drink
Cause the truth of the matter is they suck you dry
But they leave you tears, so you can cry
And they say you're lucky to be alive
But the truth of the matter is its all lies

But oh what a perfect place
A technicolor vision of disgrace
It's one for one, none for all, all around
Ring around the Rosie we all fall down
Down down

I used to be happy, I used to be good
But the truth of the matter is I misunderstood
When you're up its a tease, and you're trying to please
Something goes down, the truth always comes around
Welcome to paradise
Where the truth of the matter is its all lies

The truth of the matter is its all a big joke
You give em a kiss and then they take another poke
Well you realize it's all mirrors and smoke
Will somebody please throw me a rope?
Cause I'm just trying to feel alive
But the truth of the matter is its all lies"
