"The Truth"

Speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
I've seen it all before the way you disagree
The way you always attack all the things that you say
The way you turn your back and then you walk away
Shut your mouth and open up your eyes
You better take your time and try to realize
That no-one's free from sin and when I look at you
I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
You raise yourself up to a higher degree
And look down in disgust at our misery
You're no better than your enemy
But it's easy to hate what you just can't be
Don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man
You can't escape from death when it's close at hand
Don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
If you're too deaf to listen to the people's choice

You play us out and take us all for fools
But I never understood who even made the rules
I'll make my stand against supremacy
'Cos hypocritical governments threaten me
I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware
But you ego's too big for you to even care
The doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
You're unable to look any further than your nose
You open your mouth and all I hear is lies
You keep spreading your message that I despise
The game you're playing is so easy to see
It's just another repeat of our history
You talk about peace it's a very strong word
It's always being said but it's never been heard
Hi-tech weapons are here to reassure it
But I've never seen a time when they've done shit for it

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth motherfucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth motherfucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth motherfucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth motherfucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth you sucker

Kick it to me now cos I just can't figure
Take a small mistake and make a small one bigger
Equality's a word have you ever even heard it
I guess not and you don't deserve it
Turning your backs on the problems that surface
I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose
Your mind is SLIME so please resign
You can't control your own life don't try to rule mine
