Lyrics
Won?t Somebody
Tell Me the Truth
To politicans everywhere and the faces on my TV srceen:
i believe everything thing you says a lie
I'm going to hurry right up and not even try
to pick out the corn from your bull?s last meal
I'm giving you the piece of my mind your trying to steal
in this age of reason
this age of youth
won?t somebody tell me the truth
you got lies so big that they don?t make a sound
lies so confusing that they can?t be found
lies so tasteless they?re lower than the ground
lies so pungent that the smells all around
in this age of reason
this age of youth
won?t somebody tell me the truth
you?ve hear about the wise man at his trial
he told the truth like it?s going out of style
he stated the simple fact the truth will set you free
then the crowd dragged him out and they hung him from a tree
i can see that your sure i must be blind
I'm thinking that you think i haven?t got a mind
i don?t exactly have the details but i know there?s something up
like a shell game going on
and there?s a trap door in the cup
in this age of reason
this age of youth
won?t somebody tell me the truth
I've decided that i haven?t got the time
to workout the details of your purgeristic crime
I'm taking all your lies and putting them on the shelf
?cause I'm to busy lying to my self
in this age of reason
this age of youth
won?t somebody tell me the truth
