Gimme Some Truth (outtake) Songtext
von John Lennon

Okay, we′re ready this time
One, two, one, two, three, four

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

I′ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
Just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope
Whoo-ooh!


No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

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

I′ve had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now, now
Just give me some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It′s money for dope
Money for rope

Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth now


I′ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just give me some truth now
All I want is the truth now
Just give me some truth now

All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth!
Just give me some truth!

All I want is the truth!
Just give me some truth!
All I want is the truth!
Just give me some truth!

Oh, this is the truth (it's getting there)
