Ain’t It the Truth

Buddy Buie, J. R. Cobb

[Verse 1]
Some people got troubles
Some people got pain
Some people go hungry
And sleep in the rain
Some people just ain't happy
And some people still ain't free
These people go unnoticed
By people like you and me
Ain't it the truth?

[Chorus]
Ain't it the truth, Lord, Lord?
Ain't it the truth? (Ain't it the truth?)
Tell it like it is, brother
Ain't it the truth? (Ain't it the truth?)
But Sunday we sit so proud
Feelin' holier-than-thou
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Oh, ain't it the truth?

[Verse 2]
We talk about freedom
Yeah, wе sing about love
But talkin' about it
Just ain't good enough
Listen to mе, brothers
We better lend a helpin' hand
And try to love one another
Or this old world will end
Ain't it the truth?

[Chorus]
Ain't it the truth, my, my? (Ain't it the truth?)
Ain't it the truth? (Ain't it the truth?)
Tell it like it is, brother
Ain't it the truth? (Ain't it the truth?)
But Sunday we sit so proud
Feelin' holier-than-thou
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Ain't it the truth?

[Outro]
Ain't it the truth, Lord, Lord?
Ain't it the truth?
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout it, baby
(Ain't it the truth, brother?) yeah, yeah
(Ain't it the truth?) Said I wanna know, whoa, whoa, baby, yeah
(But Sunday we sit so proud) Mm-mm, yeah, yeah
(Feelin' holier-than-thou)
(Hallelujah)
(Ain't it the truth?) Oh, yeah, now
(Ain't it the truth?) Whoa, talkin' 'bout it, talkin' 'bout it, yeah
(Ain't it the truth?) Whoa, whoa
