Lyrics for Song: Give Me Some Truth
Lyrics for Album: Imagine



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 dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
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-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
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 and tired 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


Give Me Some Truth

John Lennon's 'Give Me Some Truth' stands as a poignant addition to the legacy of his 1971 album, 'Imagine.' Recorded during a period of intense personal and political reflection, the track exemplifies Lennon's signature blend of folk-rock and acoustic storytelling. The song delves into the universal human desire for honesty and clarity, contrasting sharply with the cynicism often found in contemporary media. As part of the 'Imagine' catalogue, it reflects Lennon's commitment to peace and his critique of societal division. The recording captures his distinctive vocal style, characterized by a gentle yet firm delivery that invites listeners to seek genuine understanding in a complex world. This work remains a testament to his ability to translate personal philosophy into accessible, resonant music that continues to inspire critical listening decades later.
