Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of hearin' things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
[Verse 2]
I've had enough of readin' things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
[Verse 3]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky's
Gonna Mother Hubbard, soft-soap me
With just a pocket full of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
Woo-ooh-hoo
[Verse 4]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky's
Gonna Mother Hubbard, soft-soap me
With just a pocket full of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
[Verse 5]
I'm sick to death of seein' things
From tight-lipped, condescendin', mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth, now
[Verse 6]
I've had enough of watchin' scenes
Of schitzophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima donnas
All I want is the truth, now
Just gimme some truth
[Verse 7]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dick
Is gonna Mother Hubbard, soft soap me
With just a pocket full of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
[Verse 8]
Ah, I'm sick to death of hearin' 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 readin' things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
[Verse 9]
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
