While Truth & Lies Greatly Creep

After George Harrison, “While my guitar gently weeps” (White Album, 1968)

I look at you all, see the truth there that’s sleeping
While my lies gently creep
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still truth & lies gently creep

I don’t know why nobody told you
How to unfold your lies
I don’t know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it’s turning
While truth & lies gently creep
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still truth & lies gently creep

Well...

I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all, see the lies there that’s sweeping
While Truth & lovr gently weeps
Look at you all
Still truth & lies gently creep

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh
