"Everything But The Truth"

You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.
You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.
People say they hate you, try to kill you, while they're grinning in your face.
You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.

Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.
Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.
You gotta do the right things, gotta jump on in and see that it gets done.
Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.

Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
He's not playing games; he's taking names; he is bullet proof.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.

God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself.
God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself.
You gotta go it alone, you gotta gather it up and nobody gonna help.
God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself.

You gotta make the most of what equipment you've got
You gotta make the most of what equipment you've got
Don't sit around complaining, crying all the time, cause you don't have a lot.
You gotta make the most of what equipment you've got

Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment.
Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment.
You've gotta settle up with this sweet ole world and give back what you've taken.
Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment.

Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
He's not playing games; he's taking names; he is bullet proof.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
