the truth hides

I walk the street

I see the signs

I read the words

I watch the crowd

In their eyes they scan around

Looking for the discounts in the stores

In the time of hardship and poor economy

Life can't be easy picking

I hear the talk

Of the values drop

On the scandals hitting us

There is one man has no honesty

We can't put our heads high

We feel ashamed of what he had done

The lies and cheats never owned up

I walk away I don't have to say

It is hurting

The eyes and minds

The talk of the bad

It's time to wake up the addiction

I walk the street

I see the signs

I read the words

But the truth hides
