Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
The old man turned off the radio
Said: Where did all the old songs go?
Kids sure play funny music these days
They play it in the strangest ways
Said it looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child
For man could it be that the girls and boys
Are tryin' to be heard above your noise
And the lonely voice of youth cries
What is truth?
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Lookes up and says: Daddy what is war?
Son that's when people fight and die
A little boy of three says: Daddy why?
A young man of seventeen in sunday school
Bein' taught the golden rule
And by the time another years gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
What is truth?

Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with a book says: Raise your hand
Repeat after me, I solemnly swear
The man looked down at his long hair
And although the young man solemnly swore
Nobody seemed to hear anymore
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair
And the lonely voice of youth cries
What is truth?

Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
A young girl dancin' to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
A young man's speakin' in the city square
Is tryin' to tell somebody that he cares
Yeah the ones that your callin' wild
Are gonna be the leaders in a little while
This ole world's wakin' to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way
You'd better help that voice of youth find
What is truth?
And the lonely voice of youth cries
What - is - truth?
