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 give me some truth


i've had enough of reading
things
by nuerotic-pyschotic-
pig headed politicians


all i want is the truth
just give me some truth


no short haired-yellow bellied
son of tricky dicky
is gonna mother hubbard
soft soap me
with just a pocketful of hope
money for dope
money for rope


i'm sick to death of seeing
things
from tight lipped-
condescending -mommies little
chauvinists


all i want is the truth
just give me some truth


i've had enough of watching
scenes
of schizophrenic - ego - centric
- paranoic - prima - donnas


all i want is the truth
just give me some truth

1. Lennon was a genius, and an awesome

human being. I've often wondered what he would have thought about everything that's happening now had he still been living. What songs he would have written, what rallies he'd have taken part in, etc.

2. Excellent

JL was a genius !!!!
It's a shame we have to keep repeating the same tired old bullshit though (war and bad politics, not the song).

3. I love that song! For some reason, it always makes me laugh my ass off

Possibly because Lennon's just not having any of the bullshitting we get from our government(s). How I would love to hear his take on the fascist BushCo regime - who make Tricky Dicky look like a boyscout. Wouldn't you love to see a Lennon - Rumsfeld debate? Lennon would not have backed down to the blood thirsty, psycho, war profiteering, smart ass pig!
