Policy of Truth (Live in FilaForum di Assago, Milan, 19th February 2006)

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth "Oh, yeah!"

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Never again is what you swore
Thе time before "Oh, yеah!"
Never again is what you swore
The time before "Yeah, that's right!"

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Now you're standing there tongue-tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
"Come on!"

[Chorus 3: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth "Oh, yeah!"

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before
"Oh! Alright! Alright! Ah! Ah!"

[Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Never again is what you swore
The time before "Hey!"
Never again is what you swore
The time before "Ah!"
Never again is what you swore
The time before "Wooh!"
Never again is what you swore
The time before "That's right!"
"Oh! Thank you very much."
