Lyrics

Gimme Some Truth

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrite

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of tricky dicky's gonna motherfucker soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
A money for dope

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac, prima-donnas

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of tricky dicky's gonna motherfucker soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
A money for rope

Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrite

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)
All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)
All I want is the truth (truth)
Just gimme some truth (truth)

Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth
