Truth

[Verse 1]
Hey, Mister Mayor
What the hell we gonna do?
Tell the truth
Say, Mister Mayor
Could I have a word with you?
Am I getting through?

[Chorus]
Yes, I have seen the levees comin' down
I've seen the fire on the ground
Money leavin' town
And now I am growing older, looking through
This different point of view
But I'm closer to the truth
Yes, I am
Yes, I am

[Verse 2]
I said, where is the Savior?
'Cause he don't look a thing like you
Tell the truth
Save it for later
'Cause you've had your time to prove
Now your time is through

[Chorus]
Yes, I have seen the levees comin' down
I've seen the fire on the ground
Money leavin' town
And now I am growing older, looking through
This different point of view
But I'm closer to the truth
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am

[Bridge]
Well, I lay low, I'll cover my head
What I know, I'll keep it under my bed
Though I try to steady my mind
I'll get weary of what I might find

[Chorus]
'Cause I have seen the levees comin' down
I've seen the fire on the ground
Money leavin' town
And now I am growing older, looking through
This different point of view
But I'm closer to the truth
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
