Gimme Some Truth lyrics - Cheap Trick

(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
