Closer To The Truth
The Animals
The Twain Shall Meet (1968)

There is a man, there is a man
There is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth

There is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth
There is a man, there is a man

He may be to the east of the bread but not the truth
He may be in the USA, you know that it's no use
He could be in England in a rock and roll group
But there is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth

He may be in Italy, he working in a field
Or a medic in Vietnam, helping bodies heal
He could be a Christian man preaching from a book
But there is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth

There is a man somewhere who is closer to it all
He's not looking outwards, he's looking to within
But there is a man somewhere closer than we've ever been

He could be in Japan, high on the mountain top
Or in Sydney, Australia in a psychedelic shop

He may be a soldier who suddenly's going off
or he could be almost 'bout to die
lyin' over against the wall

There is a man, there is a man
There is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth
There is a man somewhere who knows he gets no truth
There is a man somewhere who is closer to it all
There is a man, there is a man
Maybe I’m one too
