you had something to hide 
should have hidden it, shouldn't you 
now you're not satisfied 
with what you're being put through 
it's just time to pay the price 
for not listening to advice 
and deciding in your youth 
on the policy of truth 

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
it's too late to change events
it's time to face the consequence
for delivering the proof
in the policy of truth

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
you'll see your problems multiplied
 if you continually decide
to faithfully pursue
the policy of truth
