They all lie
Right
Left
They all lie
Even when the truth sounds better
Even when there’s no reason
They all lie

When I was a kid
The one thing that started a fistfight
Was calling someone a liar
Now it’s hyperbole
Now it’s normal
Now it’s spin
Even when the truth sounds better
Our country is drowning in lies
Flooding the world
Watching how quickly
Our democracy has degraded

They all lie
Them
Us
They all lie
Even when the truth sounds better
Even when no one is watching
They all lie

Now that I’m old
The one thing I value most is truth
Which is a rare commodity
To be treasured
To be protected
To be loved
Especially when the truth makes us better
In a country full of despair
Don’t listen to the lies
Turn up, tune out, drop in
On someone you love

Be Present, Be Kind, Be Truth, Be Peace
Be Present, Be Kind, Be Truth, Be Peace
Be Present, Be Kind, Be Truth, Be Peace
Say it with me
