Plain Truth Lyrics - Total Devo - Devo

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

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.
