Policy of Truth (Live in Stade Couvert Régional, Liévin, 29th July 1993)

[Intro: Dave Gahan] "Hey!" [Verse 1: Dave Gahan] You had something to hide Should have hidden it, shouldn't you? Now you're not satisfied With what you're being put through [Chorus 1: Dave Gahan] It's just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth [Verse 2: Dave Gahan] Things could be so different now It used to be so civilised You will always wonder how It could have been if you'd only lied [Chorus 2: Dave Gahan] It's too late to change events It's time to face the consequence For delivering the proof In the policy of truth [Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Never again is what you swore The time before Never again is what you swore The time before [Verse 3: Dave Gahan] Now you're standing there tongue-tied You'd better learn your lesson well Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell [Chorus 3: Dave Gahan] You'll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth "Oh, yeah." [Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Never again is what you swore The time before "Yeah, come on!" Never again is what you swore The time before "Aha. Oh! That's right!" "Oh, yeah." [Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Never again is what you swore The time before Never again is what you swore The time before Never again is what you swore The time before Never again is what you swore The time before "Alright!" "Oh, thank you very much."
