Cheap Trick - Gimme Some Truth Lyrics

Cheap Trick Lyrics

"Gimme Some Truth"
(originally by John Lennon)

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pigheaded politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme 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

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mommy's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of watching scenes
By schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima donnas
All I want is the truth
Just gimme 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

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pigheaded politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
All I want is the truth
All I want is the truth
