You Stand Alone - Lucky Dube

Liar, liar, your pants are on fire

You' ve got a nose as long as a telephone wire

I swear to tell the truth

Nothing but the truth

So help me God

I cross my heart and hope to die

These are the words we use

To get out of situations

Then I wonder why

We don' t mean what we say

Then I remembered the terrible truth

About the truth

If you stand for the truth

You will always stand alone

The holy book tells us

The truth will set us free

But in this world I know different

Do you believe in the truth

Do you believe in righteousness

Do you believe in innocent

Till proven guilty

'Cause those that tell the truth

Are always on the run… Oh God

Then I wonder why

We don' t mean what we say

Then I remembered the terrible truth

About the truth
