The Truth ISN’T Out There

You won’t find it
   On the web
You won’t find it
   At the mall
You won’t find it
   Up her dress
There ain’t
   No one to call

Ain’t nobody out there
To tell you
Who you are
So cast down your buckets
Right where you are

The planets won’t
   Tell you
You can’t see it
   In the stars
You won’t find it
   In a pill
You won’t find it
   At the bar

Ain’t nobody out there
To tell you
Who you are
So cast down your buckets
Right where you are

You can ask
   Your pastor
You can hire yourself
   A shrink
Five hundred bucks
   An hour
Won’t tell you
   What you think

Ain’t nobody out there
To tell you
Who you are
So cast down your buckets
Right where you are
