Words and Music Jack Smith

lyrics

I went down to the corner looking for the truth
I was hoping it would be there just like in my youth

But the corner was deserted ‘cept for lies and deceit
They said truth had had a bad year and decided to retreat

I asked them how was business and they told me it was fine
They said now that truth had gone away everyone was lyin’

So I went to see the preacher to tell him what I’d heard
He just smiled and shook his head, never said a mumblin’ word

I went to see the President looking’ for some luck
He slapped my back and shook my hand and gave me twenty bucks

I went back to my apartment and tried to write a song
But it all just seemed so trivial
Now That Truth Was Gone
