Some say the truth is good
And that it is better not to lie
So just let me ask you why
We lie about our lives
The country is not doing well
Thought it is what we want to believe
Do you remember how things used to be
Do you remember going outside to play
Without fearing you'll disappear
Don't you remember how it used to be
When we were really free
Look at it this way
The death poll is rising
And so are gas prices
And it is so hard to believe
Tomorrow will be better than today
People are getting bitter
And there is so much construction
That we just don't need
We keep on polluting
And hurting our only home
Now do you know
Exactly what I mean
For once
Take a look around you
And take a deep breath
And tell the truth
Are you really happy
Do not tell me
Tell yourself
