Plain Truth Lyrics by Devo

Plain Truth Lyrics

    Who are you and who am i
    Except a couple of people
    Wasting lots of time
    Worrying about the future
    Forever asking why
    Some people go on living
    While others die before their time
    Yet there's never been a reason
    Whatever is is right
    If only just because
    Its much too big a fight
    Like the painter who is way ahead
    Or worse still far behind
    You only punch yourself out
    When you start swinging blind

    These are the things too often gone unsaid
    These are the things that keep
    You better off than dead
    These are the things that keep running through your head
    Woo oooo
    These are the things too often gone unsaid

    Who are you and who am i
    Except a couple of people
    With nothing else to do
    But follow vain obsessions
    Making gestures towards the truth
    While trying to ignore it
    When its convenient to
    The symbols we believe in
    Sometimes turn inside out
    Reshaping each dimension
    Were so sure about
    Dreams get so frustrated
    Fantasies turn pranks
    A simple ounce of common sense
    Is money in the bank.
