Lyrics
We Can Tell The Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The people who are born into people
I´m never short of food on the table
Shaking hands with fake tans and southern dreams
Douse the world in kerosene
We can tell the truth
Yeah, we can tell the truth
Yeah, we can tell the truth
Someone's gonna lose
Someone's gonna lose
Yeah someone's got to lose
Oh, yeah
They manipulate our religions
To set us on a unified vision
Fill our mouths with words so we listen
In a comfortable state of submission
So we can tell the truth
So we can tell the truth
So we can tell the truth
They keep a shadow over you
A shadow over you
A shadow over you
They'll never show you proof
They'll never show you proof
They'll never show you that people can change
And we're all just the same
Money won't cover up their mistakes, yeah
Oooooh oooooh oooooh
Everybody loves a winner
Nobody wants to lose
So place your bets and think like the rest
So you can be a winner too
So you can be a winner too
We can't ignore the truth
We can't ignore the truth
We can't ignore the truth
Someone's gonna lose
Someone's got to lose
And it could be you
