Funny how when you're young 

Everybody says boy you gotta tell the truth 

Then as you grow you see the lie 

Behind truth, poor old truth

There ain't much call for that around here

True there ain't much call for that around here

And good friends you know I've got a few 

And some of what they tell me is undoubtedly true

But honesty you know it's got its price

And truth, poor old truth

There ain't much call for that around here

True there ain't much call for that around here

Honesty is dead on its feet

Integrity is just a hollow bleat

And truth, poor old truth

There ain't much call for that around here

True there ain't much call for that around here
