Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know I don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.

Don't you know you're just another woman of the world?

Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
Peace, peace, peace, you know I don't believe it.
Love, love, love, it's just another word.

Hey, children, you are starvin';
I'm too fat to find the time for feedin' someone else.
Hey, children, you are dyin';

Time, time, time, it's telling you the story.
Truth, truth, truth, a secret never heard.
