Neeley Bridges - Truth Has Been Told lyrics

rate me

you got that silver spoon, yes I've

seen it dangling from your mouth, when

you give some sorry excuse

for the mess that you've made of your momma's house

built up and born into waste

it's no surprise when your eyes confess, cause

we all get used to the taste

of sugar-coated words and the sweet smell of success

you traded your soul for a smile and a wink

oh yeah, easy as sin,

well it is what it is, but it ain't what you think

no, no, the clever don't always win

so cling to your crown if you will

but you can't turn paper to gold

anymore than a lie can deceive once the

truth has been told

the twist and turn of a word

can polish it up til it shines like new

we bop our heads to the beat

but more often than not it's the same old tune

well god helps those who help themselves

so grab another piece of the pie

and don't you mind if there's some

who never got none

they must've been unwilling to try

you traded your soul for a smile and a wink

oh yeah, easy as sin,

well it is what it is, but it ain't what you think

no, no, the clever don't always win

so cling to your crown if you will

but you can't turn paper to gold

anymore than a lie can deceive once the

truth has been told

well tell yourself the stars aligned and brought you down to the earth

a celestial prophecy, how blessed are we by your noble birth

but we are just flesh and blood and sometimes love and hate

and it don't matter what you say...

you traded your soul for a smile and a wink

oh yeah, easy as sin,

well it is what it is, but it ain't what you think

no, no, the clever don't always win

so cling to your crown if you will

but you can't turn paper to gold

anymore than a lie can deceive once the

truth has been told<br />
