Give Me Some Truth

I'm sick and tired of hearing things

From uptight, short sighted

Narrow-minded hypocritics

All I want is the truth

Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things

By neurotic, psychotic

Pig headed politicians

All I want is the truth

Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied

Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard

Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap

It's money for dope, money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied

Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard

Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap

It's money for dope, money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things

From tight-lipped, condescending

Mama's little chauvinists

All I want is the truth

Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of watching scenes

Of schizophrenic, ego-centric

Paranoiac, prima-donas

All I want is the truth now, now

Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied

Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard

Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap

It's money for dope, money for rope

Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things

From uptight, short-sighted

Narrow-minded hypocrites

All I want is the truth now

Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of reading things

By neurotic, psychotic

Pig-headed politicians

All I want is the truth now

Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now

Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth

Just gimme some truth

All I want is the truth

Just gimme some truth

All I want is the truth

—John Lennon (1940-1980)
