If I could catch the truth, would I know what to do?
Would it be enough, would I want two?
Yea, maybe, once I knew, I mighta 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’d drug it, bring it down, that I’d put it under glass
In some aquarium or zoo
That I’d use a rod n’ 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 pick-up 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 truth
If I could just catch the truth
Look at all them people cruise, down Western Avenue
They’re all trying to catch the truth
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 ones with nowhere to go, in the dead ends, on the roof
They’re all trying to catch the truth
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 would do
As I babble in the face of truth
I’m just trying to catch the truth
What’s real? What’s fake? What’s new?
What’s next? What’s worth all this truth?
Ooo-hoo, the things I wouldn’t do
Ooo, the things that I would do
As I babble in the face of truth
I’m just trying to catch the truth
