Explores human nature, focusing on the common tendency to make mistakes, keep secrets, and tell "little white lies" to navigate life. It touches on themes of pretending, the desire for heaven contrasted with the reluctance to die, and the deceptive tactics of "smooth talkers." The piece suggests that everyone has something to hide and that truth is difficult to suppress.
Lyrics
TRUTH WILL OUT, IT’S HARD TO BLOCK IT
AND IT WON’T STOP ME WHEN I WANT TO MISBEHAVE
WE’RE IN THE SAME BOAT, SO LET’S ROCK IT
CAN WE DO IT WITHOUT MAKING WAVES?
BEING HUMAN, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES
AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE UP STORIES TO GET BY
WE ALL HAVE SECRETS, EVERBODY’S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE
AND WE ALL WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
BUT NONE OF US WANT TO DIE
WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE, WE’D LIKE TO GO TO HELL
AND WE ALL TELL LITTLE WHITE LIES
WE LIVE EACH DAY LIKE THERE IS NO END
IN OUR HEARTS WE NEVER GET OLD
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN WE PRETEND
IT’S A WORLD WITHOUT END AND WE’RE ON HOLD?
THE SMOOTH TALKERS, KNOW JUST WHAT TO SAY
AND TELL YOU THE THINGS YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR
THEY TWIST THE TRUTH THEN BEG FORGIVENESS WHEN THE END IS NEAR
AND WE ALL WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
BUT NONE OF US WANT TO DIE
WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE, WE’D LIKE TO GO TO HELL
AND WE ALL TELL LITTLE WHITE LIES
BEING HUMAN, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES
AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE UP STORIES TO GET BY
WE ALL HAVE SECRETS, EVERBODY’S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE
AND WE ALL WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
BUT NONE OF US WANT TO DIE
WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE, WE’D LIKE TO GO TO HELL
AND WE ALL TELL LITTLE WHITE LIES
