Why do you question

When there's no answer told?

Plain truth is nothing

You can't buy it when it's sold



Save all your money

And they won't reason why

Why all the worry?

They'll spend it when you die



Chorus:

Don't look for something

Plain truth is nothing,

nothing but the plain truth



You stand and wonder

Just let it warm your skin

Take all the living

Live life and let it win



Plain truth means nothing

Cry, laugh and cry again

You question answers

Born, live and die, Amen



Chorus:

Don't look for something

Plain truth is nothing,

nothing but the plain truth



[Repeat first and second verse and chorus]
