Give Me Some Truth
Lennon, John
Imagine (1971)

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.

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 hope
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.
