You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong

We're gonna know what you've done

We're going to see where you belong - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth

Whether you are black or you're white

We're going to know who's right

We're going to see you in the light - in the end

O and every little thing you do

You'd better know it's coming back to you

You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause one day you're gonna die

And good's going high,

And evil's going down - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth

Whether you're old or young

We're going to see what you've done

There'll be nowhere else to run - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause whether you're rich or you're poor

You're going to meet at the same door;

You're going to know the real score - in the end

And if you want to help your fellow man

You better start with what is in your hand

You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong

We're going to know what you've done

We're going to see where you belong - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth;

'Cause if the world you chose

No further than your nose

Will be where the doors will close- in the end

You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause for those who were deceived

There'll be no reprieve

There'll be no time to believe - in the end

O and every little thing you do

You better know it's coming back to you

You can't bargain with the truth

'Cause one day you're gonna die

And good's going high,

And evil's going down - in the end
