If we only knew the truth about it...

Maybe we could work our way around it...

If we only knew the truth about it...

Maybe we could work our way around it...

Then maybe we could ignore that the shore used to be the edge

explore more than our block or the next

city over with nothing on our shoulders but the clothes on our backs

and you leave us here with nothing,

expecting no attack,

with soldiers on the way.



If we only knew the truth about what really goes on...

maybe all the things I do would make sense

just for once.

Maybe we could work a way around it

if we only knew the truth about it.



You think its crazy,

you think there's nothing to hide,

whenever there's a proposition for me to decide on

there's a million suggestions

with a million intentions

when the people getting richer off the people getting poorer

it's due for peeking over, there's justice on the way.



If we only knew the truth about what really goes on

Maybe all the things I do would make sense,

just for once

Maybe we could work our way around it

If we only knew the truth about it (echo "about it" 5 times)



If we only knew the truth about what really goes on,

what you said behind closed doors

(on private lines)

If we only knew the truth about what really goes on

and what you say behind closed doors

(on private lines)

if we only knew the truth about it.

If we only knew the truth about it.

More than just a lie or two about what really goes on and what you said.

(echo "said")

More than just the right thing to do the time has just passed us up instead.

Maybe we could work our way around it.

If we only knew the truth about it. (Echo "about it" 5 times)
