E
The old man turned off the radio,
A
Said, "Where did all of the old songs go?
F#
Kids sure play funny music these days,
B7
And they play it in the strangest ways."
E
Said, "It looks to me like they've all gone wild.
A
It was peaceful back when I was a child."
F#
Well, man, could it be that the the girls and boys
B7
Are tryin' to be heard above your noise?
E A B7 E
And the lonely voice of youth cries, "What is truth?"
E
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
A
Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?"
F#
"Son, that's when people fight and die."
B7
A little boy of three says, "Daddy, why?"
E
A young man of seventeen in Sunday school,
A
Bein' taught the golden rule.
F#
And by the time another year has gone around,
B7
It may be his turn to lay his life down.
E A B7 E
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking, "What is truth?"

E
A young man sittin' on the witness stand.
A
The man with the book says, "Raise your hand.
F#
Re-peat after me. I solemnly swear."
B7
The man looked down at his long hair.
E
And although the young man solemnly swore,
A
Nobody seemed to hear anymore.
F#
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there,
B7
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair.
E A B7 E
And the lonely voice of youth cries, "What is truth?"
Interlude:

E
A young girl dancin' to the latest beat
A
Has found new ways to move her feet.
F#
A young man speakin' in the city square
B7
Is tryin' to tell somebody that he cares.
E
Yeah, the ones that you're callin' wild
A
Are gonna be the leaders in a little while.
F#
This old world's wakin' to a newborn day
B7
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way.
E A B7 E
You better help that voice of youth find what is truth.
A B7 E
And the lonely voice of youth cries, "What is truth?"
