A long, long time ago, I can still remember
When I trusted Wiki, nothing could be finer
But then I read a page, it made me shiver
Misinformation, spreading like a river
And I knew I couldn't just let it slide
The day the truth took a nosedive

So bye, bye, to the Wikipedia lies
Facts twisted and compromised
Oh, those articles were our guides
Singing, "This'll be the day the truth cries"
"This'll be the day the truth cries"

Did you believe the things they wrote?
Did you swallow every single quote?
Or did you start to question and doubt?
Oh, and as I clicked on through the site
I saw the falsehoods, what a fright
And knew we needed to call them out

Well, I know that knowledge is power, true
But with each edit, it's a different view
The truth's become a fragile thing
As anyone can type in what they're thinking
And as the facts were swept aside
The day the truth went for a ride

So bye, bye, to the Wikipedia lies
Misinformation under disguise
Pseudoscience, theories that fly
Singing, "This'll be the day the truth cries"
"This'll be the day the truth cries"

Now for years, we've relied on this
But now it feels like a hit and miss
And I don't know what's real anymore
The credibility's washed up on the shore
And as I search for what's genuine
I wonder where the truth has been

So bye, bye, to the Wikipedia lies
Misinformation in disguise
Oh, those entries were our ties
Singing, "This'll be the day the truth cries"
"This'll be the day the truth cries"
