What’s Truth Got to Do with It?
To the tune of “What’s Love Got to Do with
It?
You must
understand that there’s likely a plan
To which we react.
What’s in the news
is designed to confuse and
That’s a fact.
It’s historical.
Categorical.
You have to see that it really comes down to that.
Oh!
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
What’s truth in
the face of power and money?
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
Who needs the facts when what matters is
opinion?
No surprise when
we find that most folks are blind
Who have eyes to
see.
They’re in a daze
all confused by the haze
Of the powers that
be.
It’s high-level crime
That works every
time.
Why should they
stop with the press in their pockets?
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
What’s truth in
the face of power and money?
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
Who needs the
facts when what matters is opinion? Ooh!
We should be takin’
on a new direction.
Yes, I have to say
We should be thinkin’ about our own protection.
It’s really the
only way.
Oh!
What’s truth
got to do, got to do with it?
What’s truth in the face of power and
money?
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
Who needs the
facts when what matters is opinion?
(What’s truth) Got
to do, got to do with it?
What’s truth in
the face of power and money?
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
Who needs the
facts when what matters is opinion?
(What’s truth got
to do?) Ooh, got to do with it?
(What’s truth in
the face of power and money?)
What’s truth got
to do, got to do with it?
Who needs the
facts when what matters is opinion?
(What’s truth?)
Ooh, Ooh.
(Got to do) Got to
do with it?
(What’s truth) In
the face of power and money?
