Truth, it's good for the soul

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!"

- Sir Walter Scott, from Marmion, circa 1810


"I will not lie,
 I will not lie for you

It's only right for me to tell you
When it's the wrong thing to do
It's only right that you should know
If he comes to me
I will not lie for you
No, I won't lie for you

Mama, I won't lie for you

Little girl, I won't lie for you
No, I won't lie to him for you

I will not lie for you"

- James Taylor, excerpted, 1979
