Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
[Verse 2]
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
[Verse 3]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
Woo-ooh
[Verse 4]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope
[Verse 5]
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending mamas' little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth now
[Verse 6]
I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now, now
Just give me some truth
[Verse 7]
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
[Verse 8]
Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just give me some truth now
[Verse 9]
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just give me some truth now
All I want is the truth now
Just give me some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
