Lyrics If the Truth Be Known - Napalm Death

If the Truth Be Known

Your self-determined place of value
Think before you act
Can you justifiably criticise
A situations development
Sometimes there’s only a single path
Which we have to walk
You realise before you even speak
That we’re standing in a one-way street
Why should we retreat to satisfy your gain?
Think hard — tell me
What’s your actual thoughts?
Could you even give your brain the time of day?
Live your life and don’t live mine
I’m not defending things I’ve said or done
But let he without sin
Cast the first begrudging stone
If the truth be known
You desire to judge unchallenged
And revel in the according attention
