The Awful Truth

From the dawning of time

There's been something

Of mine that I've been clinging to

If you could choose

What you're gonna lose

In this here life here's

The awful truth

Listen

Over there there's a man

Training bears to live

In the wild as one

With the preordained cycle of life

No abuse of the power

We thrive convinced

That the hour never

Beckons us twice

Raise your hand

And choose a command

From the maskless spectacle

That we call life

Never say I didn't warn you

When your screamin'

At the dimwits never

Saying nothing nice

There's a land good and flat

Ain't as thick as all that

And a giant sun shines in the sky

Going up and down, no sound

Such a spectacle can only live twice

Here on Earth then up in the the sky

That is blue as the tune

That you're singing

When you lose your wife

To the awful truth

Shining rays may sail

For days but they always

Get here when they're supposed to

Manta rays may swim through

Rays right about when the sea ain't

As clean as it should be

Though we know its better

To be good and oppose

The bad but all's as it should be

Dogs may bark at less

Than a spark but the barking's less

Than the danger that would be not

From the dawn I rewind so

The measure of time

Ain't never much use

I'd rather gaze to the stars

Destiny ain't far if

You check for the clues

Let's stand together

And take it real far

Let's build an empire

Made of little cars

Let's fall a part

You can't always get along

If you kill my wife

I may kill yours but it's wrong

I know it's wrong

But that don't make it right

For you to kill mine so prepare to die

It's the awful truth you can't refute

That what you do's been done to you

Shining rays may sail

For days but they always

Get here when

They're supposed to

Manta rays may swim through

Rays right about when the sea

Ain't as clean as it should be

Though we know its better

To be good and oppose

The bad but all's as it should be

Dogs may bark at less

Than a spark but the barking's

Less than the danger

That would be not

Shining rays may sail for days

But they always get here

When they're supposed to

Manta rays may swim through

Rays right about when the sea

Ain't as clean as it should be

Though we know its better

To be good and oppose

The bad but all's as it should be

Dogs may bark

At less than a spark

But the barking's less

Than the danger that would be not
