You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong 

We're gonna know what you've done 

We're going to see where you belong - in the end 



You can't bargain with the truth 

Whether you are black or you're white 

We're going to know who's right 

We're going to see you in the light - in the end 



O and every little thing you do 

You'd better know it's coming back to you 



You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause one day you're gonna die 

And good's going high, 

And evil's going down - in the end 



You can't bargain with the truth 

Whether you're old or young 

We're going to see what you've done 

There'll be nowhere else to run - in the end 



You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause whether you're rich or you're poor 

You're going to meet at the same door; 

You're going to know the real score - in the end 



And if you want to help your fellow man 

You better start with what is in your hand 



You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong 

We're going to know what you've done 

We're going to see where you belong - in the end 



You can't bargain with the truth; 

'Cause if the world you chose 

No further than your nose 

Will be where the doors will close- in the end 

You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause for those who were deceived 

There'll be no reprieve 

There'll be no time to believe - in the end 



O and every little thing you do 

You better know it's coming back to you 



You can't bargain with the truth 

'Cause one day you're gonna die 

And good's going high, 

And evil's going down - in the end
