Tell No Lies

Lord above, what have you done

To this lonely heart o'man

Frightened to the bone

That's how it all began

He bought a colt, a 38

To gain security

He'd only have one mission

Protect the family

His son is only 13

And... He's playing "Judgment Day"

Alike the late night movie

Blows someones head away

Daddy told him how to load

And pull the trigger now

Then left him on it's road again

For more respect in town

Chorus:

Don't tell no lies

Like you use to do

Don't tell no lies

We're not save anymore

We need understanding

Respect, and help us god

So don't tell no lies... No more

Won't somebody tell me

Where do we go from here

Spreading seeds of hate

Growing only fear

It's a race against the time

The many things undone

Still we look at justice

Trough the barrel of a gun

[Chorus]

There must be an answer to this everlasting "Why"

It's getting harder everyday, no matter how I try

[Chorus]
