Lyrics
Plain Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do you question
When there's no answer told?
Plain truth is nothing
You can't buy it when it's sold
Save all your money
And they won't reason why
Why all the worry?
They'll spend it when you die
Chorus:
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth
You stand and wonder
Just let it warm your skin
Take all the living
Live life and let it win
Plain truth means nothing
Cry, laugh and cry again
You question answers
Born, live and die, Amen
Chorus:
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth
[Repeat first and second verse and chorus]
