a thousand tongues

Yes, I have a thousand tongues
And nine and ninety-nine lie
Though I strive to use the one,
It will make no melody at my will,
But is dead in my mouth.

This poem is confusing to me, but I think it's about telling the truth and how people can tell so many lies so many times but it's hard to tell the truth just once.
