Policy of Truth [Beat Box Mix (Edit)]

[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

[Refrain 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

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

[Refrain 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

It's too late to change events

It's time to face the consequence

For delivering the proof

In the policy of truth

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Never again is what you swore

The time before

Never again is what you swore

The time before

[Interlude]

[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

[Refrain 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You'll see your problems multiplied

If you continually decide

To faithfully pursue

The policy of truth

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Never again is what you swore

The time before (The time before)

Never again is what you swore

The time before (The time before)

[Interlude]

[Outro: Dave Gahan]

Never again is what you swore

The time before (The time before)

Never again is what you swore

The time before (The time before)

Never again is what you swore

The time before (The time before)
