The Truth - John Wesley Harding[00:00:00]
I was arrested for disturbing the peace[00:00:18]
But hey I was disturbing the war[00:00:22]
I was waving a small white hand kerchief[00:00:27]
Singing please don't fight no more[00:00:31]
And I thought thered be an army each side[00:00:35]
But there were[00:00:40]
Just two guys wearing very bad ties[00:00:41]
So I shouted until my throat went hoarse[00:00:45]
And they cut out my voice box of course[00:00:49]
I was taken to court in a city of gold[00:00:52]
Where silence is a sure sign of guilt[00:00:58]
And you can't speak out in your own defense[00:01:02]
Or be heard over worlds being built[00:01:06]
And the trial was a farce as befitted a place[00:01:10]
Where comedy and tragedy share the same face[00:01:15]
The judge read the verdict a curtain was raised[00:01:20]
An audience roared out it's praise[00:01:24]
And I said[00:01:27]
Wheres the truth around here today[00:01:29]
Where do fact and fiction separate[00:01:37]
Whos the bug guy that we have to pay[00:01:46]
To find the truth[00:01:53]
To find the truth[00:01:58]
It all made the news but the story was wrong[00:02:11]
And the photo wasn't even of me[00:02:16]
And the great god[00:02:20]
I love he intoned from above[00:02:21]
You shouldn't sniff at free publicity[00:02:24]
But it wasn't the voice I'd expected to hear[00:02:29]
It was thin and unclear like richard gere[00:02:33]
And somebody said gods had a bad fall[00:02:38]
Thats his manager taking his calls[00:02:41]
And I said[00:02:45]
Wheres the truth around here today[00:02:47]
Where do fact and fiction go their separate ways[00:02:55]
I no that we were much too clever to pray[00:03:04]
But wheres the truth to find the truth[00:03:11]
I was put in a cell for the whole afterlife[00:03:37]
But my mind was just as free as can be[00:03:41]
Somebody said just your bodys enchained[00:03:46]
And you can guess how that encouraged me[00:03:49]
So I wandered and roamed[00:03:54]
For the rest of my days[00:03:56]
I was clearing my name[00:03:58]
I was apportioning days[00:04:00]
And then I woke up[00:04:03]
It was all a dream all was well[00:04:04]
But when I woke up I woke up in my cell[00:04:07]
And I said[00:04:10]
Wheres the truth around here today[00:04:12]
Where do fact and fiction separate[00:04:20]
No one wants to be the one to say[00:04:29]
Wheres the truth[00:04:36]
Wheres the truth[00:04:40]
Se wheres the truth I'm as you here today[00:04:44]
I was arrested for disturbing the peace[00:05:06]
For disturbing the peace[00:05:12]
