[Verse 1] You brought a plan in a cardboard sleeve Three bold claims and a receipt to leave The room went quiet, the coffee went cold You sold tomorrow in a font too bold [Pre-Chorus] Everybody nodded like they knew the route Nobody asked what the route was about [Chorus] How about the part where we tell the truth? How about the bill for the missing proof? You can dress it up in a clever phrase But the table still remembers yesterday How about the part where we tell the truth? [Verse 2] A little red arrow points to the prize A smiling promise with adjustable size The fine print sleeps in a lowercase bed While the loudest sentence gets printed in red [Pre-Chorus] Everybody clapped when the curtain came down Nobody checked who was still in town [Chorus] How about the part where we tell the truth? How about the bill for the missing proof? You can dress it up in a clever phrase But the table still remembers yesterday How about the part where we tell the truth? [Bridge] No grand reveal, no secret door Just one more question than we had before If the answer needs a marching band Maybe it was never meant to stand [Final Chorus] How about the part where we tell the truth? How about the bill for the missing proof? You can dress it up in a clever phrase But the table still remembers yesterday How about the part where we tell the truth? How about the part where we tell the truth? [Outro] The cover closes, the room stays bright We read the headline one more time
