Where did it go to my youth,
|
Where did it fade away to ?
|
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
|
The truth we didn't want to know ?
|
|
What is it ? do you know ?
|
What is it ? can I bear it ?
|
Who did it ? do I care ?
|
Who is it ? when did it happen and where ?
|
|
Why did you let me know,
|
How could you think I'd stand it ?
|
You knew I'd pay you back,
|
I did it, and it happened ? do you care ?
|
|
Where did it go to, my youth ?
|
Where did it fade away to ?
|
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
|
The truth we didn't want to know ?
|
|
Who is he ? do you know ?
|
This man of power but a fool.
|
They said he was so high and pure,
|
They also said that he was cruel.
|
|
They killed him, did you see ?
|
They knew he couldn't take it.
|
They wanted lies ? he said the truth.
|
They did it ? and it happened ? who cares ?
|
|
Where did it go to, my youth ?
|
Where did it slip away to ?
|
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
|
The truth they didn't want to know ?
|
|
Why did you let me know,
|
How could you think I'd stand it ?
|
You knew I'd pay you back.
|
I did it, and it happened ? do you care ?
|
|
What is it ? do you know ?
|
Who did it ? can I bear it ?
|
Who did it ? do I care ?
|
Who is it ? when did it happen and where ?
|
|
What is it ? do you know ?
|
Who did it ? can I bear it ?
|
Who did it ? do I care ?
|
Who is it ? when did it happen and where ?
|
|
Where did it go to, my youth ?
|
Where did it slip away to ?
|
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
|
The truth I didn't want to know ?
