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,
