歌词

[00:09.68] The old man turned off the radio
[00:12.35] Said, "Where did all of the old songs go
[00:15.49] Kids sure play funny music these days
[00:18.47] They play it in the strangest ways"
[00:21.25] Said, "it looks to me like they've all gone wild
[00:24.00] It was peaceful back when I was a child"
[00:26.67] Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
[00:29.02] Are trying to be heard above your noise?
[00:31.88] And the lonely voice of youth cries "What is truth?"
[00:35.00] "What is truth?"
[00:40.69] A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
[00:43.22] Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?"
[00:45.65] "son, that's when people fight and die"
[00:48.69] The little boy of three says "Daddy, why?"
[00:51.55] A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
[00:54.40] Being taught the golden rule
[00:56.85] And by the time another year has gone around
[00:59.44] It may be his turn to lay his life down
[01:02.68] Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
[01:06.18] "What is truth?"
[01:17.58] A young man sittin' on the witness stand
[01:20.97] The man with the book says "Raise your hand"
[01:24.32] "Repeat after me, I solemnly swear"
[01:26.85] The man looked down at his long hair
[01:29.43] And although the young man solemnly swore
[01:32.03] Nobody seems to hear anymore
[01:34.84] And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
[01:37.35] It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair
[01:40.26] And the lonely voice of youth cries
[01:44.00] "What is truth?"
[01:53.95] The young girl dancing to the latest beat
[01:56.96] Has found new ways to move her feet
[01:59.65] The young man speaking in the city square
[02:02.37] Is trying to tell somebody that he cares
[02:05.11] Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
[02:08.02] Are going to be the leaders in a little while
[02:10.46] This old world's wakin' to a new born day
[02:13.25] And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way
[02:18.46] You better help the voice of youth find
[02:21.94] "What is truth?"
