Policy Of Truth Lyrics by Depeche Mode
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

It'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'd 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
You had something to hide   Should have hidden it, shouldn't you   Now you're not satisfied   With what you're being put through      It'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'd 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
