Pearl Jam - Gimme Some Truth Lyrics

Pearl Jam Lyrics

"Gimme Some Truth"
(cover of "Gimme Some Truth" by John Lennon)

I've had enough of reading things
From neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes
From short-sighted, narrow-minded, mama's little hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just give us 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 rope
Corporate hoes

I've had enough of reading things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I've had enough of hearing things
From schizophrenic egocentric mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Georgie Porgie
Is gonna Mother-Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for rope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Georgie Porgie
Is gonna Mother-Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
It's money for rope
Oh, corporate hoes

I've had enough of reading things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
All I want is the truth
I've had enough of reading things
From pig-headed, tight-lipped politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth

All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
Just give us some truth
