Give Me Some Truth
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
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 neurotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians.
All I want is the truth,
Just give me some truth.
No short haired, yellow bellied son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope.
Money for dope,
Money for rope.
Uh-uh -
No short haired, yellow bellied son of tricky dicky's
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 now.
I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego centric, paranoic, prima donnas.
All I want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth.
No short haired, yellow bellied son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope.
It's money for dope,
Money for rope.
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics.
All I want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth now.
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.
All I want is the truth.
