Truth, Bitter Truth
Where did it go to my youth,
Where did it fade away to ?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth we didn't want to know ?
What is it ¡ do you know ?
What is it ¡ can I bear it ?
Who did it ¡ do I care ?
Who is it ¡ when did it happen and where ?
Why did you let me know,
How could you think I'd stand it ?
You knew I'd pay you back,
I did it, and it happened ¡ do you care ?
Where did it go to, my youth ?
Where did it fade away to ?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth we didn't want to know ?
Who is he ¡ do you know ?
This man of power but a fool.
They said he was so high and pure,
They also said that he was cruel.
They killed him, did you see ?
They knew he couldn't take it.
They wanted lies ¡ he said the truth.
They did it ¡ and it happened ¡ who cares ?
Where did it go to, my youth ?
Where did it slip away to ?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth they didn't want to know ?
Why did you let me know,
How could you think I'd stand it ?
You knew I'd pay you back.
I did it, and it happened ¡ do you care ?
What is it ¡ do you know ?
Who did it ¡ can I bear it ?
Who did it ¡ do I care ?
Who is it ¡ when did it happen and where ?
What is it ¡ do you know ?
Who did it ¡ can I bear it ?
Who did it ¡ do I care ?
Who is it ¡ when did it happen and where ?
Where did it go to, my youth ?
Where did it slip away to ?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth they didn't want to know ?
