Lucky Dube - You Stand Alone lyrics

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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus]
