They say the truth will set us free
That's what they say
But you'll never prove it by me
They say that lies just tear us down
That's what they say
But it's not what I found.
Maybe I look like a joker
Maybe I act like a clown
Maybe I'm barely holding on
To a world that is upside down

That's what you say
When I have my doubt
After you read me a bedtime story
After you sing me a lullaby
Tell me the truth
Show me the proof
But let me keep livin' the lie
Why should I be downhearted
Why should I feel bad
Maybe I'm only losin'
