You had something to hide Should have hidden it, shouldn't you? Now you're not satisfied With what you're being put throughIt's just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now It used to be so civilized You will always wonder how It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events It's time to face the consequence For delivering the proof In the policy of truth

Never again Is what you swore The time before

Never again Is what you swore The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied You better learn your lesson well Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell

You'll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth

Never again Is what you swore The time before

Never again Is what you swore The time before

Never again Is what you swore The time before.

The Logical Song lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep for such a simple man

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am

I said now, watch what you say, now we're calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable

But at night, when all the world's asleep

The questions run so deep for such a simple man

Won't you please (Won't you tell me), (You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me?)

I know it sounds absurd, (Won't you help me) please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am

But I'm thinking so logical

Did you call, one two three four

It's getting unbelievable.
