{Joshua is left alone. Tyler, distraught, joins the Workers as they continue to labor.}
Joshua
If it's true what they say
If there's nothing to be done
If it's true then it's too late
And the boy I love is gone
If it's true what they say
Is this how the world is?
To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes?
It'll always be like this?
If it's true what they say
I'll be on my way
Brendon
And the boy turned to go,
'Cause he thought no one could hear,
But everybody knows that the walls have ears.
And the workers heard him
Workers
If it's true what they say
Brendon
With their hammers swinging
Workers
What's the purpose of a man?
Brendon
And they quit their workin'
Workers
Just to turn his eyes away?
Brendon
When they heard him singing
Workers
Just to throw up both his hands?
Brendon
No hammers swinging
Workers
What's the use of his backbone
Brendon
No pickaxe ringin'
Workers
If he never stands upright?
Brendon
And they stood and listened
Workers
If he turns his back on everyone?
Brendon
To the poor boy singin'
Workers
That he could've stood beside
Joshua
If it's true what they say
I'll be on my way
But who are they to say what the truth is anyway?
'Cause the ones who tell the lies
Are the solemnest to swear
Workers
Ahh...
Joshua
And the ones who load the dice
Always say the toss is fair
Workers
Ooh...
Joshua
And the ones who deal the cards
Workers
Deal the cards...
Joshua
Are the ones who take the tricks
Workers
Ahh...
Joshua
With their hands over their hearts
While we play the game they fix
Workers
Ooh...
Joshua
And the ones who speak the words
Workers
Speak the words (speak the words...)
Joshua
Always say it is the last
And no answer will be heard
Workers
Ooh...
Joshua
To the question no one asks
So I'm askin' if it's true
I'm askin' me and you
And you
And you
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
Workers
We stand and listen (listen...)
Joshua
I believe if there is still a will
Then there is still a way
Workers
We're standing with him...
Joshua
I believe there is a way
I believe in us together
More than anyone alone
Workers
We're standing near him (near him...)
Joshua
I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know
Workers
We hear him...
Joshua
I believe we're stronger than they know
I believe that we are many
I believe that they are few
Workers
We're standing (standing, standing...)
Joshua
And it isn't for the few
To tell the many what is true
Workers
We understand him...
Joshua
So I ask you:
If it's true what they say
Workers
We're standing...
Joshua
I'll be on my way
Workers
We're standing...
Joshua
Tell me what to do
Workers
We're standing...
Joshua
Is it true?
Is it true what they say?
