If I could catch the truth
Would I know what to do?
Would it be enough? Would I want to?
Yeah, maybe once I knew
I might have known a few
What do I know? Do I have a clue?
Ooo-hoo, the things I couldn't do
Ooo, the things that I could do
I'd be whole, I'd be new
Just trying to catch the truth
If I could catch the truth
I'd probably throw it back
You don't believe I could throw it back, do you?
You think I drug it, bring it down
Or that I'd put it under glass
In some aquarium or zoo
Or that I'd use a rod and reel
A rifle and a deal
That I'd make a promise in eight-tracks
A scam, a scheme, a trap
An offer with a map
A pickup truck with a dog in back
Ooo-hoo, the things I couldn't do
Ooo, the things that I could do
I'd step over the true
If I could just catch the truth
Look at all them people cruisin'
Down Western Avenue
But they're all trying to catch the true
What's real? What's fake?
What's new? What's next?
What's who? Who's true blue?
Ooo-hoo, the things I wouldn't do
If I could catch the truth
Ooo-hoo, the things that I would do
If I could just catch the truth
The one's with nowhere to go
In the dead ends on the rue
They're all trying to catch the true
Even the ones up there
Wet hair and power views
They're all trying to catch the truth
Ooo-hoo, the things I wouldn't do
Ooo, the things that I could do
Is a battle in the face of true
I'm just trying to catch the truth
Ba-bada-da-ba-ba-ba
Bada-bada-bada-bum
What's real? What's fake?
What's new? What's next?
What's worth all this true?
Ooo-hoo, the things I wouldn't do
Ooo, the things that I would do
Is a battle in the face of true
I'm trying to catch the truth
Ba-bada-da-ba-ba-ba
Bada-dada-dada-da
Bada-ba-ba-ba
Badada-ba-ba-ba
Hmm, bada-da-da-da
