[00:08.479] [ORPHEUS]
[00:18.793] If it's true what they say
[00:21.486] If there's nothing to be done
[00:25.440] If it's true then it's too late
[00:30.005] And the girl I love is gone
[00:33.903] If it's true what they say
[00:37.374] Is this how the world is?
[00:42.193] To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes?
[00:48.910] It'll always be like this?
[00:51.082] If it's true what they say
[00:53.999] I'll be on my way
[00:59.546]
[00:59.822] [HERMES]
[01:00.042] (spoken)
[01:00.590] And the boy turned to go
[01:03.664] 'Cause he thought no one could hear
[01:08.047] But everybody knows that walls have ears
[01:12.275] (sung)
[01:13.064] And the workers heard him
[01:14.934]
[01:15.052] [WORKERS]
[01:15.185] If it's true what they say
[01:16.339]
[01:16.504] [HERMES]
[01:16.903] With their hammers swinging
[01:18.720]
[01:18.865] [WORKERS]
[01:18.993] What's the purpose of a man?
[01:20.859]
[01:21.006] [HERMES]
[01:21.152] And they quit their workin'
[01:22.654]
[01:22.802] [WORKERS]
[01:22.955] Just to turn his eyes away?
[01:25.007]
[01:25.247] [HERMES]
[01:25.400] When they heard him singing
[01:27.134]
[01:27.269] [WORKERS]
[01:27.439] Just to throw up both his hands?
[01:29.018]
[01:29.167] [HERMES]
[01:29.324] No hammer swinging
[01:31.135]
[01:31.274] [WORKERS]
[01:31.424] What's the use of his backbone
[01:33.070]
[01:33.212] [HERMES]
[01:33.374] No pickaxe ringin'
[01:35.245]
[01:35.401] [WORKERS]
[01:35.540] If he never stands upright?
[01:37.554]
[01:37.706] [HERMES]
[01:37.848] And they stood and listened
[01:39.554]
[01:39.705] [WORKERS]
[01:39.839] If he turns his back on everyone?
[01:41.923]
[01:42.078] [HERMES]
[01:42.223] To the poor boy singing
[01:44.124]
[01:44.262] [WORKERS]
[01:44.400] That he could've stood beside
[01:45.691]
[01:45.808] [ORPHEUS]
[01:45.932] If it's true what they say
[01:48.718] I'll be on my way
[01:54.480] But who are they to say what the truth is anyway?
[02:00.797] 'Cause the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear
[02:08.451] And the ones who load the dice
[02:13.822] Always say the toss is fair
[02:18.247] And the ones who deal the cards
[02:20.586]
[02:20.741] [WORKERS]
[02:20.872] Deal the cards
[02:21.993]
[02:22.169] [ORPHEUS]
[02:22.306] Are the ones who take the tricks
[02:26.685] With their hands over their hearts
[02:30.935] While we play the game they fix
[02:34.186] And the ones who speak the words
[02:37.769]
[02:37.910] [WORKERS]
[02:38.032] Speak the words
[02:38.875]
[02:39.023] [ORPHEUS]
[02:39.186] Always say it is the last
[02:42.395] And no answer will be heard
[02:47.466] To the question no one asks
[02:51.077] So I'm askin' if it's true
[02:53.639] I'm askin' me and you
[02:58.630] And you
[02:59.187] And you
[03:00.487] I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
[03:03.763]
[03:03.898] [WORKERS]
[03:04.007] We stand and listen
[03:06.017]
[03:06.151] [ORPHEUS]
[03:06.293] I believe if there is still a will
[03:10.406] Then there is still a way
[03:11.682]
[03:11.853] [WORKERS]
[03:11.978] We're standing with him
[03:14.083]
[03:14.267] [ORPHEUS]
[03:14.407] I believe there is a way
[03:16.028] I believe in us together
[03:18.353] More than anyone alone
[03:19.875]
[03:20.030] [WORKERS]
[03:20.162] We're standing near him
[03:22.884]
[03:23.021] [ORPHEUS]
[03:23.161] I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know
[03:28.391]
[03:28.534] [WORKERS]
[03:28.674] We hear him
[03:30.297]
[03:30.426] [ORPHEUS]
[03:30.564] I believe we're stronger than they know
[03:32.886] I believe that we are many
[03:34.892] I believe that they are few
[03:36.482]
[03:36.638] [WORKERS]
[03:36.780] We're standing
[03:39.179]
[03:40.899] [ORPHEUS]
[03:41.130] And it isn't for the few
[03:43.325] To tell the many what is true
[03:44.826]
[03:44.988] [WORKERS]
[03:45.121] We understand him
[03:47.499]
[03:47.644] [ORPHEUS]
[03:47.771] So I ask you:
[03:48.588] If it's true what they say
[03:51.371]
[03:51.503] [WORKERS]
[03:51.646] We're standing
[03:52.813]
[03:52.968] [ORPHEUS]
[03:53.108] I'll be on my way
[03:55.286]
[03:55.442] [WORKERS]
[03:55.560] We're standing
[03:57.414]
[03:57.552] [ORPHEUS]
[03:57.669] Tell me what to do
[03:59.187]
[03:59.346] [WORKERS]
[03:59.496] We're standing
[04:00.902]
[04:01.082] [ORPHEUS]
[04:01.222] Is it true?
[04:02.867] Is it true what they say?
